Walter Julius Reppe (29 July 1892 in Göringen – 26 July 1969 in Heidelberg) was a German chemist. He is notable for his contributions to the chemistry of acetylene.
Jul 16, 2021 · Abstract. More than six decades after proposing copper acetylide, Cu 2 C 2, as catalytically active species in ethynylation reactions by Walter Reppe, the explosive species have been experimentally identified and investigated during catalysis in detail now.
Oct 11, 2016 · The production and further processing of acetylene is closely connected to the name of BASF chemist Walter Reppe (1892-1969). The chemistry pioneer set the course for the production of...
Walter Reppe was a German industrial chemist who developed the Reppe chemistry, a branch of organic chemistry that uses high pressure and catalysts. He also synthesized cyclooctatetraene, a compound that sparked academic interest in aromaticity and organic synthesis.
