Alexey Favorsky

Alexei Yevgrafovich Faworski (Russian Алексей Евграфович Фаворский; * 20 Februarjul / March 3 1860greg in Pavlovo, Nizhny Novgorod Governorate, .. † August 8, 1945 in Leningrad) was a Russian chemist.

Life

Faworski comes from a priestly family, and received his secondary education in Nizhny Novgorod and Vologda. Between 1878 and 1882 he studied at the Faculty of the Imperial University of St. Petersburg Physico- Mathematical. Then Faworski got a job in the chemical laboratory of the University at Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov, where he worked during his studies.

In 1883 he went as a laboratory assistant to the First St. Petersburg Real establishment and next continued his work in the chemical university laboratory. From 1886 he was a laboratory technician at the technical laboratory of the St. Petersburg University. After his dissertation on the Master of Chemistry in 1891 Faworski received a teaching position as a lecturer in analytical chemistry at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics.

1895 put Faworski before his dissertation Dr. chemistry and from the following year, he was a professor at the Department of Production Engineering and Industrial Chemistry. In 1897, he recognized the laws of the intramolecular rearrangement of α - halocarbonyl compounds that bears his name as Faworski rearrangement.

From 1897 to 1908 he worked simultaneously on the Chemical- Technological Institute in St. Petersburg and on he co-founded the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, whose director he was from 1934 to 1938. Between 1900 and 1905 Faworski developed a new method for the synthesis of alkynyl alcohols, which became known as Faworski reaction.

Beginning in 1901, he also served as editor of the Journal of the Russian Physico- Chemical Society.

Faworski published a number of scientific papers on the isomeric conversion of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the Journal of the Russian Physico- Chemical Society, some of which also appeared in German language and for which the Russian Physico- Chemical Society him with the " N. N. Sokolov Prize " excellent.

Favorsky 1939 developed a new method for the synthesis of isoprene from acetylene and acetone, 2 -methyl-3 - butyn- 2-ol and 2-methyl- 3-buten- 2-ol. 1941 Faworski was awarded the Stalin Prize for the introduction of a method for the industrial production of isoprene rubber.

His students included Sergei Vasilievich Lebedev, Vladimir Nikolayevich Ipatiev and Mikhail Alexandrovich Porai - Komiz.
