Today (February 26, 1931) is the Memorial Day of Otto Wallach, the German scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his study of molecular structure.

Today (February 26, 1931) is the Memorial Day of Otto Wallach, the German scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his study of molecular structure.

Otto Wallach was born on March 27, 1847, in Gonisburg, Russia to a Jewish family. Father, civil servant. Attended gymnasium school in Poston. Literature and art history are usually taught in schools then. Wallach was very interested in both of these. Studied chemistry privately at home. He also carried out some chemical experiments at home out of self-interest. He later studied doline isomer at the University of Cottingham and received his doctorate at the age of 22. Participated in the Franco-Prussian War at the invitation of the government. After the war, he decided to stay in Berlin and began working in a factory there. Due to ill health, Bon moved to the city.

He first joined the University of Bonn as an assistant in the organic laboratory. He later worked as a lecturer and professor there. Worked here for about 19 years. He was first appointed Professor of Pharmacology. To improve himself in the field, he studied many books and did many types of research. Detected immunochlorides by the action of phosphorus pentachloride on acid amides. According to a scientist who was his mentor in college, he studied turbines in oils. Explored the molecular structure of these. He conducted this study using several methods, including melting comparison and measurement of compounds. Examined the reactions of turbines. He authored a 600-page book, Turbine and Camper, about his research. He subsequently undertook several studies. He also played an important role in chemical theoretical research.

Gottingen was elected director of the Chemical Institute. Wallach rule, Wallach decay, Lucard-Wallach verb, Wallach restoration are all referred to by his name. He carried out various researches on turpentine and essential oils and made many discoveries. The chemical industry, which uses essential oils to make perfumes and food, has benefited. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1910 for his research on the alicyclic compound known as the fatty compound and for his contribution to organic chemistry. In 1912 he received the Davey Medal.

Elected Member of the German Chemical Society. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate by several universities, including Manchester and Leipzig. He carried out various researches till the end. Otto Wallach, one of Germany's notable chemists, passed away on February 26, 1931, at the age of 84 in Gothenburg, Germany.
