Life

Reutov attended Middle School No. 3 in Dimitrijewsk and then went to Moscow in 1937 to study at the chemistry faculty of Lomonosov University Moscow (MGU). After the start of the German-Soviet War , he completed the fourth year course, but then went to the front as a volunteer in September 1941 . He was involved in the fighting on the Southern Front and the 4th Ukrainian Front. During the Battle of Stalingrad he was part of the 5th Panzer Army there . In 1942 he joined the CPSU . In September 1945 he was demobilized as a major and chief of the chemical department of the 4th Ukrainian Front .

Reutov returned to the chemical faculty of the MGU and received his doctorate in 1948 with his thesis on the investigation of the decomposition of aryl azo carbon salts, which had been supervised by AN Nesmejanow , as a candidate in chemical sciences . With his dissertation on the application of homolytic reactions for the synthesis of organometallic compounds, he received his doctorate in chemical sciences in 1953.

Reutov then studied for some time as an aspirant with the philosopher Bonifati Kedrow in order to train his thinking for his further scientific work.

1954 Reutow became a professor at the MGU. In 1957 he founded the laboratory for problems in the theory of organic chemistry at the chair for organic chemistry, with which he quickly became known. In order to be able to give his lectures in the largest lecture halls without a microphone, he took speaking lessons in the Maly Theater .

Since 1954, Reutow has attended universities, particularly in the GDR , China , the USA , India , Brazil , Australia and Japan . In India he met Svetoslav Roerich and attended a yoga school.

In Reutows lecture at the University of California was AF Kerensky present who was then chasing without success to speak to Reutov.

In 1956, Reutov published the first textbook on problems in the theory of organic chemistry in the USSR . Through his work he founded physical organic chemistry in the USSR. In 1958 he became a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) .

In 1962 Reutov became head of the Laboratory for Organic Chemistry of Isotopes of the Institute for Elemental Organic Compounds of the AN-SSSR. There the reaction mechanisms of organic compounds with mercury , tin , germanium and gold were examined. In 1964 he became a real member of the AN-SSSR. In 1965 he joined the editorial board of the Journal of Organic Chemistry of the AN-SSSR. 1966-1980 he was co-editor of the international presentations organ index Chemicus , and in 1968 he was regional editor of the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry . In 1977 he joined the editorial board of the Izvestia chemistry series of the AN-SSSR. In 1985 he became editor-in-chief of the AN-SSSR's Metalloorganitscheskaja Chimija magazine . From 1978 he headed the Chair of Organic Chemistry at MGU until he became an advisor to the MGU Rectorate in 1993.

Reutov was vice-chairman of the Soviet Peace Committee and an expert of the USSR on chemical and biological warfare problems at the UN .

Of Reutov's students, 15 scientists became professors and doctors. He supervised more than 150 candidate dissertations. More than 1200 publications with 400 co-authors and several patents bear his name.

Reutov was buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery.
