Siegfried Hauptmann
Siegfried Hauptmann (born April 23, 1931 in Dürrhennersdorf (Upper Lusatia), † April 18, 2011 in Leipzig ) was a German chemist . With his textbook on organic chemistry , he created a standard work in this subject in 1976, which was widely used in the German-speaking world.
Life
After graduating from high school in Löbau, Hauptmann studied chemistry at the University of Leipzig from 1950 . He received his doctorate in 1958 under Wilhelm Treibs in the field of organic synthesis (pentalenes) . In 1961 he completed his habilitation with work on the effects of thionyl chloride on pinacols . In the same year he took up a position as a lecturer at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig . From 1968 to 1972 Hauptmann headed the chemistry section there. In 1969 he was appointed associate professor. Siegfried Hauptmann was Vice-Rector for Natural Sciences and Deputy Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the University of Leipzig between 1973 and 1980, and from 1990 he managed a C4 professorship at the University of Göttingen for two semesters . Hauptmann had been retired since 1996.
Scientific papers and textbooks (selection)
The research is documented in over 90 publications in the field of organic chemistry and includes:
- Synthesis and reactivity of diazo fatty acid esters and diazomethyl ketones
- Synthesis of heterocycles ( triazoles , pyrroles , thiophenes , pyrazoles , thiazines etc.)
- Syntheses of CH-acidic heterocycles with a focus on purple couplers for color films
- Host-guest chemistry
