Albert Hesse (chemist)
Albert Hesse (born June 19, 1866 in Iserlohn ; † May 10, 1924 in Berlin ) was a German chemist.
Life
Hesse was the son of a businessman and studied mathematics and natural sciences in Münster and Berlin from 1888 and chemistry in Göttingen from 1889, where he received his doctorate in 1891 under Otto Wallach . During his studies he became a member of the VKDSt Saxonia Münster in the CV in 1886 . He was assistant gelding and turned chemistry under him terpenes to. From 1893 he was involved in the development and production of essential oils at the Heine company in Leipzig. In 1903 he left the company and moved to Berlin. In 1912 he received the title of professor.
He examined essential oils such as geranium and rose oil (from which he obtained a terpene alcohol, which he called reuniol, but which later turned out to be a mixture of citronellol and geraniol) and while examining jasmine flower oil he found that nitrogen compounds are also essential oils ( it contains indole ).
From 1895 he worked at the Chemisches Zentralblatt and from 1897 its deputy editor.
