Rainer Beckert

Life

Beckert studied from 1976 Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden) and was a PhD student of Roland Mayer (1927-2013) at the Technical University of Dresden in 1980 doctorate (theme: "Contributions to the chemistry of N -Sulfinylamine "). After doing research for the VEB Chemisches Kombinat Bitterfeld, Beckert completed his habilitation there in 1987 (subject: “Activated oxalic acid derivatives as C2 building blocks”). In 1988 he moved to the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU Jena) as a senior assistant. After German reunification, Beckert was visiting professor at the University of Würzburg in 1991 , and in 1993 he accepted an appointment as full professor at the FSU Jena. There he was Professor of Organic Chemistry until 2018.

His main research interests included organic sulfur chemistry , heterocycle synthesis, materials science (functional dyes ) and steroid modifications. Beckert is the author of around 180 scientific publications. The well-known internship textbook “ Organikum ” with a total circulation of almost 400,000 copies has been largely shaped since 1962 by Heinz GO Becker , Günter Domschke, Klaus Schwetlick and Egon Fanghänel ; Beckert has been a member of the team of authors since 1995. This standard work is now in its 24th edition (at Wiley-VCH ). The Organikum has been translated into ten languages.
