During his time at Strasboug, he discovered the similarity between hydrazobenzene and phenyl-hydrazine, and the latter compound and a ketone are used to synthesize indole in a reaction named for him.
He is the namesake of reaction where a sugar reacts with an alcohol in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to yield a glycoside. During his time at Strasboug, he discovered the similarity between hydrazobenzene and phenyl-hydrazine, and the latter compound and a ketone are used to synthesize indole in a reaction named for him. He also names a reaction where a tetrahedral intermediate is formed upon the nucleophilic attack of an alcohol group which is followed by elimination of a hydroxyl group, and 2-dimensional structures used to represent sugars are this man's namesake "projections." For 10 points, identify this German chemist who lends his name to an esterification.
