Meyers was an assistant professor at Wayne State University, neighboring pharmaceutical firm Parke–Davis (Drs. George Moersch and Harry Crooks) donated several kilograms of (1S,2S)-(+)-2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (Meyers referred to it as the Parke–Davis diol), from which his chemistry with chiral oxazolines began. He taught at Colorado State University since 1972. Meyers passed away in 2007.
