Bulky bases that cause the beta hydrogen to be oriented syn periplanar to the leaving group form this man's namesake product in E2 reactions.
This is the most famous chemist who took N-halogenated amides and amines, then reacted them with strong acids to get cyclic amines like piperidine. Sulfuric acid was used in this man's namesake voltameter. One of his reactions proceeds with the addition of bromine and alkali, forming a hypobromite, before an alkyl group migrates to form a linear intermediate. Bulky bases that cause the beta hydrogen to be oriented syn periplanar to the leaving group form this man's namesake product in E2 reactions. Silver oxide is added to a quaternary amine to form the less substituted alkene, contradicting Zaitsev's rule, in another reaction named for this man. An isocyanate forms during the conversion of an amide to an amine in his rearrangement. For 10 points, name this German chemist.
