 Hermann Emil Fischer Summary
Fischer's first step in unraveling the mysteries of the sugar group was the discovery in 1875 of phenyl hydrazine, a compound which could be used as a general reagent for separating and isolating sugars.
Fischer was elected to membership in the Academy of Sciences, and, in 1902, he received the Nobel Prize "for his synthesis in the groups of sugars and purine," as quoted by Eduard Farber in Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry.
Fischer was dedicated to academic research and was among the first scientists in the world to promote substantial industrial as well as governmental support for university laboratories.

 Chemistry 210 Experiment 7
Esterification is a straightforward reaction that utilizes several key techniques in synthetic organic chemistry.
One direct approach, known as the Fischer esterification reaction, involves the acid-catalyzed condensation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, yielding an ester and water.
Fischer was the first to synthesize phenylhydrazine, which was an important reagent in his work on elucidating the structures of most of the carbohydrates.
