Efficiently Studying Organic Chemistry

Eberhard Breitmaier is emeritus professor at the University of Bonn, Germany. He received his PhD in 1966 at the University of Tübingen, Germany. After a postdoctoral fellowship followed by an appointment as assistant professor for organic chemistry at the University of Houston, Texas, USA, from 1967 to 1968, he gained his lecturing qualification (habilitation) at the University of Tübingen in 1971. He was professor for organic chemistry and instrumental analysis at the University of Bonn from 1975 to 2004. His research focused on 3-alkoxyacroleins as reagents for organic synthesis, porphyrinoid annulenes and natural products. Professor Breitmaier has authored many scientific publications and several textbooks on organic chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, and natural products.
