Friedrich Wöhler

1800-1882

 

  He was a professor of chemistry at Göttingen who was famous for proving organic compounds did not possess a “vital force” by synthesizing urea from ammonium isocyanate. Wöhler prepared aluminum, beryllium, and yttrium by reduction of their chlorides by metallic potassium.
