Adolf von Baeyer was born in 1835 in Berlin.
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, nitroso compounds (1869) and uric acid derivatives (1860 and onwards) (including the discovery of barbituric acid (1864), the parent compound of the barbiturates).

 Baeyer, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von
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.

German chemist Adolf von Baeyer won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1905.
The word "barbiturate" is a combination of "Barbara" with "urea": von Baeyer discovered the compound on Saint Barbara’s Day, and urea was used in the synthesis of the new molecule.
The first such derivative to be identified was barbital (Veronal, Barbitone), discovered in 1902 by Josef von Mering and Emil Fischer.

Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer was born on October 31, 1835, in Berlin, as the son of Johann Jakob Baeyer and Eugenie nee Hitzig.
In 1865 he started his work on indigo- the blue dye had fascinated him since his youth-and this soon led to the discovery of indole and to the partial synthesis of indigo tin.
With his tenure at Munich came elegant total synthesis of indigo, as well as work on acetylene and polyacetylene, and form this derived the famous Baeyer strain theory of the carbon rings; there were studies of the constitution of benzene as well as comprehensive investigations into cyclic terpene.

Legend has it that in 1864, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer, of Bayer Pharmaceuticals fame, popped into a local pub after concocting a new compound, malonylurea.
Though several compounds would be derived from barbituric acid over time, creating a whole class of compounds known as the barbiturates, Baeyer did not see much therapeutic use for his acid and set it aside.
Emil Fischer and Joseph von Mering uncovered the medical value of the barbiturates in 1903.

Baeyer then succeeded Liebig at Munich where he remained for the rest of his career.
Baeyer ennobled by Ludwig II in 1885, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1905 for his work on dyes and hydroaromatic compounds.
He believed that salts are compounds of an acid and bases, and discovered that the anions in acids would be attracted to a positive electrode, whereas the cations in a base would be attracted to a negative electrode.
