Arndt, F. Eistert, B. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1935, 68, 200. Fritz Arndt (1885—1969) was bom in Hamburg, Germany. He discovered the Arndt—Eistert homologation at the University of Breslau where he extensively investigated the synthesis of diazomethane and its reactions with aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides. Fritz Arndt s chain-smoking of cigars ensured that his presence in the laboratories was always well advertised. Bernd Eistert (1902-1978), bom in Ohlau, Silesia, was Arndt s Ph.D. student. Eistert later joined I. G. Earbenindustrie, which became BASE after the Allies broke the conglomerate up after WWII.

The redistribution of integral valences was expressed in a form consonant with electronic structures by Fritz Arndt et aL in 1924, and became known as the theory of intermediate stages. To explain the fact that y-pyrones did not react either as typical unsaturated compounds or as ketones, he wrote the two formulas ... 

One example of the role of basic research in the 1930s is the work of Bemd Eistert, one of the earliest proponents of mesomerism in Germany, for which purpose he collaborated with his former teacher Fritz Arndt. Eistert joined BASF in 1929, and he took appointments in Oppau, at the Central Research Laboratory, at the triphenylmethane dyes department, and the patent department. It seems, however, as if his theoretical studies were done in a rather private way, and were not related to his tasks in the industrial departments. In the years after 1932, and especially with the appointment of Walter Reppe in 1938, the investigations at the Central Laboratory were directed towards pioneering technological research, not towards a deeper understanding of corporate-related science and technology. 

Qlhe Arndt-Eistert reaction [33] was discovered in 1927 at the University of Breslau (Wroclaw, Poland) by Bernd Eistert (1902-1978), while he was working on his PhD thesis with Fritz Arndt (1885-1969). In 1933, Arndt was forced by the Nazi regime to abandon his position at Breslau University. After a short stay at Oxford University, he accepted a professorship at the University of Istanbul.
