Alfred Tzschach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Tzschach (* 1931 ; † 1989 ) was a German chemist.

Tzschach received his doctorate in 1959 from the University of Jena under Kurt Issleib (synthesis of alkali metal phosphorus compounds and their reactivity towards benzophenone) and went with Issleib to the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg , where he completed his habilitation in 1965 (on the synthesis and reactivity of arsenic-substituted alkali organoarsenides) and became a professor in 1968. From 1972 to 1975 he headed the Chemistry Section and in 1980 he became Vice Rector for Natural Sciences at the University of Halle-Wittenberg, which he remained until his death.

He synthesized independently of Gerd Becker and Lothar Weber as one of the first Arsaalkene. Later he dealt with organic tin compounds and a new synthesis concept based on the Mannich reaction in phosphane chemistry.

In 1986 he received the Clemens Winkler Medal .
