Mobilized in his former rank of corporal at the beginning of World War I, he was soon to be commissioned to study, at Nancy, the cracking of benzols and, later, to work on problems of chemical warfare in Paris. Also concerned with work on the constitution of unsaturated compounds by quantitative ozonization, condensation of aldehydes and ketones, ketone splitting of tertiary alcohols, and catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes under reduced pressures, on May 11, 1900, Henri Moissan communicated his discovery of the classic preparation of magnesium alkyl halides to the Académie des Sciences. For 10 points, name this chemist who was able to simulate carbanions to form alkyl derivatives of metals using his namesake reagents.
