Born in 1800 and died in 1882, Friedrich Wöhler was a pioneer in the field of organic chemistry and redefined the boundaries of chemistry itself. Wöhler's groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of chemical compounds and laid the foundation for modern organic chemistry.
Wöhler's most famous achievement was the synthesis of urea in 1828, a significant breakthrough because it showed that organic compounds that had previously only been produced by living organisms could also be produced in the laboratory.
Today, organic chemistry is crucial in areas such as drug discovery, materials science and environmental protection. The synthesis of new molecules and research into their properties are essential for progress in numerous industries.
