Hi
everyone, today I am gonna talk about Felix Hoffmann, I think it is some weird
topic for a blog but was him or a science website, and I do not know any
website about my career, so you know Felix win.
Felix
Hoffmann born on 21 january 1868, in Germany, in 1891 he graduated from
University of Munich, and in 1894 he started in Bayer as a research chemist. In Bayer he discovered how
synthesize pure acetylsalicylic acid (or Aspirin for the Friends) by means of
the acetylation of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride (yep the same reaction
of we would do in laboratory, if the covid-19 doesn’t exist). The Aspirin, is a medication used to
reduced pain, ferver, or inflamation, and given immediately after a heart
attack reduce the risk of death, Before discovery of Felix Hoffman the
synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid produced a lot of impurities and thereford
low effective, owing this discovery the laboratory Bayer patent the
acetylsalicylic acid as Aspirin and with his sells the laboratory got world
fame.
I wanted have that laboratory and the others, It would have been entertaining. F for the labs.
