Life

Bohlmann studied chemistry in Göttingen from 1939 to 1944 . The studies were interrupted by military service and injury. In 1946 he received his doctorate with Hans Brockmann (1903–1988) on solvatochromy in the pyridine series . He switched to Hans Herloff Inhoffen at the University of Marburg . Bohlmann followed Inhoffen to the TH Braunschweig and completed his habilitation there. Bohlmann became a lecturer in 1952 and an adjunct professor in 1957. In 1959 he succeeded Friedrich Weygand (1911–1969) at the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the TU Berlin , where he headed a rapidly growing working group. His best known academic student is Helmut Schwarz .

Bohlmann died on September 23, 1991.

plant

Bohlmann's main area of ​​work was natural products, especially terpenes and polyynes . These were mainly isolated from Asteraceae , formerly Compositae, and their structure was elucidated. Quinolizidines , which are among the alkaloids , were another area of ​​research . Bohlmann's list of publications includes 1453 publications. The collaboration with the Biodiversity Informatics working group at the Botanical Garden in Berlin resulted in a system with which the chemical substances of the Compositae were made accessible in a database, the “Bohlmann Files”. The Bohlmann-Rahtz synthesis is named after him and Dieter Rahtz .

The Hirsch-Index of Bohlmann is 46th

Honors

In 1954 he received the lecturer award of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie. In 1958 he was awarded the Göttingen Academy Prize. He received the Otto Wallach plaque from the GDCh in 1974. The Bohlmann Lecture has been held every year since 1989 at the Institute for Chemistry at the TU Berlin. From 2004 to 2018 this event was funded by the Schering Foundation . The event has been held in cooperation with Bayer AG since 2019 .
