Guess the Chemist (139)

Author: ChemistryViews

The scientist we are looking for this time studied pharmacy and chemistry. They received their Ph.D. under the supervision of a German scientist who is well-known for a reaction that involves the dimerization of carboxylic acids.

Our chemist lent their name to a rearrangement reaction involving oximes, which is important, e.g., to make a monomer used in the production of a certain type of synthetic fiber. A device that can measure small temperature differences is also named after our scientist.
