Leopold Rügheimer
Leopold Rügheimer (born May 5, 1850 in Walldorf ; † May 24, 1917 in Kiel ) was a German chemist ( organic chemistry ).
Rügheimer was a businessman's son and studied chemistry in Leipzig, Würzburg and Tübingen, where he received his doctorate in 1873 (About a new alcohol (phenylpropyl alcohol) in the Storax). In 1875 he was an assistant in Leiden and from 1877 in Kiel, where he became a private lecturer in 1881 and a full professor of physical and pharmaceutical chemistry in 1889. The pyrazine synthesis via the conversion of α-haloketones with ammonia (1876) is named after him and Wilhelm Staedel . In 1880 he synthesized tropic acid for the first time with his Kiel colleague Albert Ladenburg (also a pioneer of alkaloid synthesis) and in 1882 he was the first to synthesize piperine (from piperic acid chloride and piperidine ).
In 1893 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .
