	Adolf von Baeyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer (October 31, 1835 - August 20, 1917) was a German chemist who synthesized indigo, and was the 1905 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
		In 1875 he succeeded Justus von Liebig as Chemistry Professor at the University of Munich.
		Baeyer's chief achievements include the synthesis and description of the plant dye indigo, the discovery of the phthalein dyes, and the investigation of polyacetylenes, oxonium salts, and uric acid derivatives (including the discovery of barbituric acid, the parent compound of the barbiturates).

		Adolf von Baeyer was born in Berlin on Oct. 31, 1835.
		Baeyer and his pupils also pioneered in the study of polyacetylenes, oxonium salts, and the internal architecture of aromatic compounds and other ring structures.
		Baeyer proposed a "centric" formula for benzene, and a "strain" theory, correlating the stability of cyclic compounds with the ring angles, to account for the submolecular properties of complex compounds.

	Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1905 - Presentation Speech
		In a series of masterly experiments von Baeyer demonstrated several years ago the chemical nature of the phthaleins and showed that, just like the already known rosaniline dyes, they may be classified as derivatives of the hydrocarbon triphenylmethane.
		In recent years - more exactly, from 1900 on - von Baeyer has resumed his work on triphenylmethane, and from this a new conception of the chemical composition of pigments and in general of the connection between the optical properties of organic substances and their interior atomic structure has been to a high degree prepared.
		The dyestuffs studied by von Baeyer belong to the main category of organic substances usually classified under the name of aromatic compounds, which differ decisively from the other organic substances - the so-called aliphatic or fatty acid series - both in their properties and in their behaviour in reaction.

	Adolf von Baeyer Biography / Biography of Adolf von Baeyer History of Invention Biography
		Adolf von Baeyer was born in 1835 in Berlin.
		Baeyer theorized the reason that naturally occurring ring compounds have five and six carbon atoms was due to the bond angles.
		According to Baeyer's strain theory, the more a bond angle deviates from a tetrahedral angle the more unstable the bond is. The smaller the angle (less three or four member rings) the more strain was put on the bond; larger angles (more than six member rings) would also result in more strain.

		Baeyer studied with Robert Bunsen, but August Kekule exercised a greater influence on his development.
		Notable among Baeyer's many achievements were the discovery of the phthalein dyes and his investigations of uric acid derivatives, polyacetylenes, and oxonium salts.
		Baeyer proposed a "strain" (Spannung) theory that helped explain why carbon rings of five or six atoms are so much more common than carbon rings with other numbers of atoms.

	Geschichte des Indigos
		Durch Reduktion in Gegenwart von Alkalien mit Dithionit (Hydrosulfit), Hydroxyaceton, Zinkstaub, katalytisch angeregtem Wasserstoff oder durch biochemische Reduktion (Gärungsküpe) entsteht Leukoindigo (Indigoweiss), ein weisser kristalliner Körper, der sich in Alkalien mit gelber Farbe löst und an der Luft wieder zu Indigo oxidiert wird.
		Unabhängig von der Purpurfärberei in Kleinasien entwickelte sich auch in Südamerika eine eigenständige Färbereitechnik.
		Bei der Baeyer-Villiger-Oxidation (1899) werden Persäuren zur Oxidation von Ketonen zu Estern eingesetzt.

		Baeyer was born in Berlin and studied there and at Heidelberg.
		His work with ring compounds and the highly unstable polyacetylenes led him to consider the effects of carbon-carbon bond angles on the stability of organic compounds.
		He concluded that the more a bond is deformed away from the ideal tetrahedral angle, the more unstable it is; this is known as Baeyer's strain theory.

	Barbiturate
		There are several stories about how it got its name, the most likely of which is that von Baeyer and his colleagues went to celebrate their discovery in a tavern where the town's artillery garrison were also celebrating the day of Saint Barbara - the patron saint of artillerists.
		The medical value of these substances was not realised, however, until 1903 when two other German chemists, Emil Fischer and Joseph von Mering, discovered that one of these compounds, diethylbarbituric acid, was very effective in putting dogs to sleep.
		It is said that von Mering proposed that the new substance be called 'Veronal', because the most peaceful place he knew on Earth was the Italian city of Verona.

	TIME 100: Leo Baekeland
		As early as 1872, German chemist Adolf von Baeyer was investigating the recalcitrant residue that gathered in the bottom of glassware that had been host to reactions between phenol (a turpentine-like solvent distilled from coal tar, which the gas-lighting industry produced in bulk) and formaldehyde (an embalming fluid distilled from wood alcohol).
		Von Baeyer set his sights on new synthetic dyes, however, not insulators.
		To him, the ugly, insoluble gunk in his glassware was a sign of a dead end.
