Friedrich Wöhler (July 31, 1800 - September 23, 1882) was a German chemist who ushered in a new age of organic chemistry when he demonstrated that urea, a chemical produced in the bodies of animals and humans, could be manufactured in the laboratory.
1800-1882. Friedrich Wöhler. The formation of the known organic compound urea by heating the inorganic ammonium cyanate, about which Wöhler wrote (1828) to his mentor Berzelius (see portrait) "I can make urea without the necessity of a kidney, or even of an animal, whether man or dog" attracted wide attention and is perhaps what he is most ...
Friedrich Wöhler (July 31, 1800 - September 23, 1882) was a German chemist, best-known for his synthesis of urea, but also the first to isolate several of the elements.
Friedrich Wöhler, along with Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779-1848) and Justus von Liebig (1803-1873), were pioneers in applying the techniques of organic chemistry to the parts and products of living things. Their work, originally known as "animal chemistry," established the foundations of modern biochemistry.
He is also known for his important studies of the elements boron, silicon, beryllium, and titanium. Wöhler's synthesis of urea was the result of experiments begun in 1823, in which he investigated the salts of cyanic acid, known as cyanates.
Friedrich Wöhler. 1800-1882. German chemist responsible for proving that organic compounds do not need a vital force supplied by a living tissue in order to be made. In 1828 Wöhler heated the inorganic compound ammonium cyanate and found that it was converted into urea. Urea is a nitrogen-containing compound that is produced by the metabolism ...
Friedrich Wöhler FRS HonFRSE was a German chemist known for his work in both organic and inorganic chemistry, being the first to isolate the chemical elements beryllium and yttrium in pure metallic form. He was the first to prepare several inorganic compounds, including silane and silicon nitride.
