German chemist (1800–1882)
Friedrich WöhlerFRS(For) HonFRSE (German:[ˈvøːlɐ]; 31 July 1800 – 23 September 1882) was a German chemist known for his work in both organic and inorganic chemistry, being the first to isolate the chemical elementsberyllium and yttrium in pure metallic form. He was the first to prepare several inorganic compounds, including silane and silicon nitride.[1]
Wöhler is also known for seminal contributions in organic chemistry, in particular, the Wöhler synthesis of urea.[2] His synthesis of the organic compound urea in the laboratory from inorganic substances contradicted the belief that organic compounds could only be produced by living organisms due to a "life force".[1] However, the exact extent of Wöhler's role in diminishing the belief in vitalism is considered by some to be questionable.[3]
Biography
[edit]Friedrich Wöhler was born in Eschersheim, Germany, and was the son of a veterinarian.
