    BRIEF HISTORY

    OF ORGANIC
    CHEMISTRY
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    First coined the term


    organic chemistry.
    JONS JACOB
    1807 He proposed that a ‘vital
    BERZELIUS
    force’ was responsible for
    the formation of organic
    compounds.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Produced an organic
    FRIEDRICH chemical, urea, from an
    1828
    WOHLER inorganic compound
    ammonium cyanate.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    He accidentally
    WILLIAM HENRY
    1856 synthesized synthetic-
    PERKIN
    organic dye.
    RESIDUE OF COAL TAR

    MAUVEINE DYE
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Postulated that the


    Friedrich August
    number of outermost
    Kekule von
    electron/s of carbon can
    1858 Stradonitz and
    link with each other
    Archibald Scott
    creating a detailed pattern
    Couper
    of atomic bonding.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    He was the first to suggest


    the possibility of double
    1862 Emil Erlenmeyer
    and triple bonds between
    carbon atoms.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Friedrich August
    Made an extensive study
    1865 Kekule von
    on benzene.
    Stradonitz
    BENZENE
    Benzene is a widely used
    industrial chemical.
    Benzene is found in crude
    oil and is a major part of
    gasoline. It's used to make
    plastics, resins, synthetic
    fibers, rubber lubricants,
    dyes, detergents, drugs and
    pesticides.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Clarified the structure of


    sugar, developed the
    Fischer projection system
    1892 Emil Fischer for the tetrahedral carbon
    and the lock and key model
    for the behavior of peptide
    catalysts in protein.
    TETRAHEDRAL CARBON
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    First to describe hydrogen


    bonding. Hydrogen
    Wendell Latimer, bonding is responsible for
    1920
    Worth Rodebush the important properties
    of matter such as boiling
    point of water.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    First to conduct studies on


    giant molecules,
    1928 Wallace Carothers discovered the early
    synthetic material
    neoprene and nylon.
    NEOPRENE NYLON
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Discovered Carbon-14, an
    isotope of carbon,
    Martin Kamen and
    1940 although its existence
    Samuel Ruben
    were suggested by Franz
    Kurie in 1934.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Demonstrated the first


    high performance carbon
    1958 Roger Bacon fibers, the strongest and
    stiffest materials by
    weight known to man.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Discovered methods of
    synthesizing and
    characterizing
    Harold Kroto, Buckminsterfullerene or bucky
    1958 Richard Smalley, balls and fullerene which
    Robert Curl helped in the discovery of
    nanotubes and graphene. Made
    synthesis of carbon nanotubes
    practical.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Made synthesis of carbon


    1991 Sumio Iijima
    nanotubes practical.
    DATE CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTION

    Performed
    groundbreaking research
    Andre Geim,
    about graphene, an
    2004 Konstantin
    allotrope of carbon, and
    Novoselov
    its two dimensional
    properties.
    WHAT IS AN ALLOTROPE?

    Allotropes are different


    structural forms of the same
    element in the same physical state.
    EXAMPLES OF ALLOTROPES OF CARBON
    IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY, THE
    FOLLOWING EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
    TOOK PLACE.

    1. Petroleum was discovered leading to the booming of petrochemical industry.

    2. Production of artificial rubbers, various adhesives, other petroleum additives and


    plastics went underway.
    3. Pharmaceutical industry began with the manufacture of acetylsalicylic acid or
    aspirin.

    4. Polypropylene and high density polypropylene (HDPE) was discovered by Phillips


    Petroleum chemists while they are attempting to convert propylene into gasoline

    5. Biochemistry was introduced.
