Ludwig Anschütz (chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Anschütz (born August 4, 1889 in Darmstadt , † December 6, 1954 in Würzburg ) was a German chemist and professor.

Life

Anschütz studied chemistry from 1908 at the universities of Bonn, Munich and Marburg, and received his doctorate in Marburg in 1920 as an academic student of Karl Friedrich von Auwers . Several times his studies were interrupted by military service. Until 1923 he was a lecturer and teaching assistant at the Chemical Institute of the University of Bonn . After a year and a half as a private assistant to Wilhelm Schlenk at the Chemical Institute of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin, he worked for several years at Auwers at the University of Marburg until 1929 . During this time he did his habilitation (1927) with a thesis “On aromatic derivatives of phosphoric acid and the hypothetical orthophosphoric acid P (OH) 5 , especially compounds with phosphorus-containing heterocycles ”.

In 1930, Anschütz accepted a call as a regular associate professor and head of the Organic-Chemical Institute at the German Technical University in Brno . In 1937 he was appointed full professor there. During the Second World War, Anschütz 'research was characterized by taking on research assignments that were important to the war effort. After the end of the Second World War, Anschütz was forced to stop his work in Brno. Via the short stops in Prague and Innsbruck, Anschütz ended up in Maßbach ( Mainfranken ), where he found shelter as a refugee. From 1950 until his death, Anschütz was an adjunct professor at the Chemical Institute of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg .

Richard Anschütz , formerly Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Bonn , is the father of Ludwig Anschütz. His mother was Anna Anschütz, a daughter of the Bonn physiologist Eduard Pflüger .

He made contributions to experimental organic chemistry , such as the action of phosphorus chlorides on phenol carboxylic acids , which he followed up on the work of his father Richard Anschütz. Studies of the reactions of catechol with various phosphorus chlorides followed. Among other things, phosphorus-containing heterocycles and aromatic esters of orthophosphoric acid, P (OAr) 5, were obtained .

Anschütz has published 43 scientific papers.
