Life

Kotschetkow attended the Moscow silicate technical center with graduation in 1932. He was then senior technician in the central laboratory for building materials of the Moscow Building Trust (1932–1933) and senior laboratory assistant in the central laboratory of the Frunze chemical plant in Moscow-Dorogomilowo (1932–1934). In 1934 he began studying at the Lomonosov Moscow Institute for Fine Chemicals Technology, which he graduated in 1939. He then served in the Red Army , took part in the German-Soviet War and received the Order of the Great Patriotic War, 1st class in 1944 .

From 1945 Kochetkow worked as an assistant at AN Nesmejanows chair for organic chemistry of the chemical faculty of the Lomonossow University Moscow (MGU). In 1948 he received his doctorate for his study of the reaction of mercury (II) chloride with an acetylene derivative as a candidate in the chemical sciences . In 1950, under Nesmejanov's leadership, he developed methods for the synthesis of β- chlorovinyl ketones and many organic compounds based on them. In 1951 he became a lecturer , in 1953 he received his doctorate in chemical sciences with his dissertation on β-chlorovinyl ketones . In the same year he discovered the enamine - imine - tautomerism . He also discovered and studied a new type of glycoside . In 1955 he was appointed professor.

1954-1960 Kochetkov headed the department of organic synthesis of the Institute of Pharmacology and Chemotherapy of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR (AMN). In 1957 he became a corresponding member of the AMN and in 1960 a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) . 1959-1966 he worked at the Institute for Natural Product Chemistry of the AN-SSSR as deputy director and head of the laboratory for carbohydrates and nucleotides . One of the main focuses of work was the monosaccharides . He developed new methods for the biological synthesis of active mono- and polysaccharides , in particular the orthoester method (1965). Cycloserine was also one of the synthesized preparations .

In 1966 Kochetkov became director of the Moscow Selinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the AN-SSSR and head of the Carbohydrate Laboratory. In 1979 he became a full member of the AN-SSSR. In 1988 he became Honorary Director of the Institute and Scientific Director of the Carbohydrate Laboratory. In the same year he became a foreign member of the Polish Academy of Sciences .

Since 1973 Kochetkow was a member of the French Society of Chemists, and as a recognized carbohydrate researcher, he was a member of corresponding international organizations. He was also co-editor of international journals such as Advances of Heterocyclic chemistry (1963–1967), Carbohydrate Research (since 1965), Organic Mass Spectrometry (1969–1975) and Tetrahedron (since 1979).

Kochetkov was buried in the Troyekurovo cemetery in Moscow .
