Bernd Eistert

Bernd Karl Georg Eistert (born November 9, 1902 in Ohlau ; † May 22, 1978 in Saarbrücken ) was a German chemist .

Life

Eistert studied chemistry at the University of Wroclaw and was there in 1927 with a dissertation studies in Thiochromon series doctorate . His doctoral supervisor was Fritz Arndt . In 1928 he went to Bonn University as an assistant and in 1929 worked at the Badische Anilin und Sodafabrik AG in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in the main laboratory. In a lively exchange of ideas with Fritz Arndt, he also devoted himself to theoretical problems such as tautomerism and mesomerism , the keto-enol balance , and the electron theory of proton mobility. Eistert completed his habilitation externally at the University of Heidelberg . There he became a private lecturer in 1942. From 1943 he worked as a lecturer (from 1950 as professor) at the Technical University of Darmstadt . In 1949 Eistert was a guest employee at Euler-Chelpin in Stockholm. In 1957, Eistert left BASF and worked from then until his retirement (1971) at Saarbrücken University as a professor of organic chemistry.

Act

Eistert became known for the chain-lengthening reaction of carboxylic acids developed together with Fritz Arndt in 1927 . This synthesis reaction is therefore also called Arndt-Eistert homologation , see also: Name reaction .

With further fundamental work on tautomerism and mesomerism , he contributed significantly to the understanding of theoretical problems in organic chemistry .
