Alexander Pavlovich Eltekow
Alexander Pawlowitsch Eltekow , Russian Александр Павлович Эльтеков , (born May 6, 1846 in Bryansk ; † July 19, 1894 in Yalta ) was a Russian chemist ( organic chemistry ).
Eltekow studied at the University of Kharkiv with the degree in 1868 and then worked there. At the same time he was from 1876 to 1885 a teacher at the educational institute for women in Kharkiv and then professor at the Technological Institute. In 1889 he became a professor at the University of Kharkiv and from 1889 he was a professor at the University of Kiev .
The Eltekov rule (1877) originates from him: alcohols with a hydroxyl group on the carbon atom of a double bond are irreversibly rearranged into saturated aldehydes or ketones. In 1878 he found Eltekov's olefin methylation (methylation of alkenes ) and Eltekov's ketone synthesis ( ketones from bromination of alkenes and subsequent hydrolysis).
