Nobel, Adolph

Here is one final triumph for Adolph Butenandt. He was the first to isolate progesterone this in 1934. For his accomplishments, he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. However, the Nazi regime prevented him from accepting the award. He was finally able to do so in 1949.

For his work on terpenes, he shared the 1939 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Adolph Butenandt (p. 25). 

The solution to the problem was discovered in 1874 by Jacobus Henricus van t Hoff, 22 years old, and Joseph Achille Le Bel, age 27. Although they both worked in the laboratory of Adolph Wurtz in Paris in 1874, their discoveries were completely independent. Van t Hoff would continue to make major contributions to physical chemistry and won its first Nobel Prize (1901) for his discovery of laws of osmotic pressure of solutions. 

It is difficult to discuss Wieland s work without including the research of his contemporary and fellow German Adolph Windaus (1876-1959). It was clear that hile acids such as cholic acid not only were found jointly with cholesterol (C27H46O) but that, in addition to the similarities in formula, they shared some color reactions in common. It was also known that some oxidations of cholesterol produce acetone, while acetone is not formed in oxidations of cholic acid. Loss of a three-carbon acetone unit leaves a C24 unit, the same carbon number as in cholic acid. Windaus received the 1928 Nobel Prize in chemistry for clarifying the relationships between cholesterol and other steroids. His initial structure for cholesterol, consistent with the early incorrect representation of cholic acid, was also incorrect. The correct structure (below) was published in 1932.

In 1896 Ipatieff spent a year in Germany in the laboratory of the great Adolph von Baeyer. In the laboratory he made friends with Moses Gomberg, the discoverer of stable free radicals (University of Michigan) and Richard Wilstater, later recipient of a Nobel Prize. The three of them met in Chicago in 1933... 

Nobel invents dynamite. This stable and safe explosive for industrial use makes him a fortune. French chemist Charles-Adolphe Wurtz synthesizes phenol. 

One of the most remarkable materials ever created by humans was synthesized from inexpensive industrial chemicals Bakelite. It is composed of the reaction products of phenol and formaldehyde. Phenol (hydroxybenzene) (CgHsOH) was discovered as a component of coal tar in 1834. It was used for a variety of medicinal purposes throughout the nineteenth cenmry. In the 1870s, Adolph von Baeyer (1835-1917) carried out systematic smdies of the reactions of phenol with aldehydes, such as acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde [30]. The reactions were catalyzed by strong acids. The products were highly viscous liquids. Baeyer was one of the leading synthetic chemists of the nineteenth century and received the Nobel Prize in 1905.
