  Wurtz, Charles Adolphe
Wurtz was born in Wolfisheim, near Strasbourg, and studied at Strasbourg.
In 1855, Wurtz discovered a method of producing paraffin hydrocarbons (alkanes) using alkyl halides (haloalkanes) and sodium in ether.
Wurtz discovered aldol (3-hydroxybutanal) while investigating the polymerization of acetaldehyde (ethanal), devised a method of making esters from alkyl halides, and in 1867, with German chemist Friedrich Kekulé, synthesized phenol from benzene.

  Charles-Adolphe Wurtz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wurtz was born at Wolfisheim, near Strasbourg, where his father was Lutheran pastor.
Wurtz's first published paper was on hypophosphorous acid (1841), and the continuation of his work on the acids of phosphorus (1845) resulted in the discovery of suiphophosphoric acid and phosphorus oxychloride, as well as of copper hydride.
In 1867 Wurtz prepared neurine synthetically by the action of trimethylamine on glycol-chlorhydrin, and in 1872 he discovered aldol, pointing out its double character as at once an alcohol and an aldehyde.

Charles handed over Wurttemberg to his brother, the German king, Ferdinand I., who was its nominal ruler for a few years.
The sparsely populated country afforded a welcome to the fugitive Waldenses, who did something to restore it to prosperity, but this benefit was partly neutralized by the extravagance of the duke, anxious to provide for the expensive tastes of his mistress, Christiana Wilhelmina von Gravenitz.

 Charles Friedel - LoveToKnow Watches
FRIEDEL, CHARLES (1832-1899), French chemist and mineralogist, was born at Strassburg on the 12th of March 1832.
After graduating at Strassburg University he spent a year in the counting-house of his father, a banker and merchant, and then in 1851 went to live in Paris with his maternal grandfather, Georges Louis Duvernoy (1777-1855), professor of natural history and, from 1850, of comparative anatomy, at the College de France.
In 1854 he entered C. Wurtz's laboratory, and in 1856, at the instance of H. de Senarmont (1808-1862), was appointed conservator of the mineralogical collections at the Ecole des Mines.

Noted for his research in organic chemistry, he discovered methyl and ethyl amines (1849), glycol (1856), and aldol condensation (1872).
He developed (1855) a method of synthesizing hydrocarbons by treating alkyl halides with sodium (Wurtz reaction) that was adapted by the German chemist Rudolf Fittig to the preparation of mixed aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (Wurtz-Fittig reaction).
Wurtz also invented a bulbed fractionating column known as the Wurtz column.

Charles, as you know from my note to you regarding this query, the Chapman Family Association has little data on Chapman families living in England.
Your query data originates from fairly recent Chapman kin in England and, of course, we are always pleased to receive more data on English Chapmans, but just are not able to cope with the large volume of U.S. Chapmans, at the present time, and would not want to dilute effort.

In 1869, Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884) called chemistry "a French science." In fact, however, Wurtz was the most internationalist of French chemists.
He then discusses the turning point in Wurtz's intellectual life--his conversion to the "reformed chemistry" of Laurent, Gerhardt, and Williamson--and his efforts (social and political, as well as scientific) to persuade his colleagues of the advantages of the new system.
From there Rocke goes on to examine the rivalry between Wurtz and Marcellin Berthelot, the debate over atoms versus equivalents, and the reasons for Wurtz's failure to win acceptance for his ideas.

It was in chemistry, however, a discipline then grappling with the complexities of the structure of organic molecules, that Kekulé's mathematical bent, excellent memory, and sense of space made him an ideal student of baffling structural problems.
Supported by his affluent family, Kekulé was able to study in Paris, where he gained the friendship of the eminent chemist Charles Gerhardt, from whose theory of types he later evolved his own theory of valency.
He also moved in the scientific circles of Jean Baptiste Dumas and Charles Wurtz, whose school of organic chemistry was the only one in Europe that was able to rival the later German institutes.

Danlos initially was most interested in laboratory work, retaining an early interest in chemistry and undertook research at the laboratory of Charles-Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884) during the early phases of his career.
In 1881, at the age of 37 years, he passed the examination for consultant status - médecin des hôpitaux - and got a well rounded clinical training working with Edmé Félix Alfred Vulpian (1826-1887).
