Fyodor Wassiljewitsch Zerewitinow
Fyodor Vasilyevich Zerewitinow ( Russian Фёдор Васильевич Церевитинов * July 24 . Jul / 5. August 1874 greg. In Peredel , Russian Empire ; † 10. June 1947 in Moscow ) was a Russian chemist . From 1920 he was Professor of Organic Chemistry at Moscow University . From 1924 he was also active as a professor at the Moscow Technical University .
Scientific work
Zerewitinow conducted research in food chemistry and introduced industrial pectin production. Building on the work of Lev Alexandrowitsch Tschugajew (also Tschugaeff or Čugaev), he developed the Zerewitinow reaction , an analytical method for determining acidic hydrogen (in water, alcohols , amines and terminal alkynes ) with the Zerewitinow reagent (methyl magnesium halide). The amount of methane produced is determined gas volumetrically .
