Executive summary: Wittig Reaction. Military service: Hesse-Kassel Infantry, WWI (1916-19) In 1947 German chemist Georg Wittig discovered ylides, a class of compounds characterized by a neutral dipolar molecule with a positive and a negative charge on adjacent atoms, which makes possible the synthesis of certain organic compounds.
Aug 28, 1987 · Dr. Georg Wittig, a winner of the Nobel Prize for chemistry, died Wednesday in Heidelberg, West Germany. He was 90 years old. Dr. Wittig was professor emeritus of organic chemistry at the ...
Georg Wittig, a German chemist, developed this reaction. He won the Nobel prize in 1981, along side of Herbert C. Brown, for his work with phosphorus compounds. Other notable work of Georg Wittig includes synthesis of phenyllithium, and 1,2-Wittg and 2,3-Wittig rearrangements. Further Reading. Grignard Reagents; Sn2 and Sn2 Reactions ...
The reaction between phosphorus ylides and carbonyl compounds was developed serendipitously by Georg Wittig and co-workers in 1953 (ref. 4), although the basic reaction had actually been ...
Georg Friedrich Karl Wittig (* 16.Juni 1897 in Berlin; † 26. August 1987 in Heidelberg) war ein deutscher Chemiker und Träger des Nobelpreises für Chemie 1979. . Wittig fand einen Weg, die Carbonylgruppe eines Aldehyds oder Ketons in die Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoff-Doppelbindung eines Alkens mit beliebigen Substituenten umzuwa
Georg Wittig We discuss considerations regarding a novel and robust scheme for optically triggered electron bunch generation in plasma wakefield accelerators [1].
In 1967 at the age of 70 he became Professor Emeritus. Georg Wittig died in 1987 at the age of 90. Georg Wittig's research covered a wide selection of areas of organic chemistry over the span of his career. It is a signal honor when organic chemists bestow an individual's name to a reaction originated by that person.
