footnotes =Fritz Ullmann (
July 2 1875 –March 17 1939 ) was a Germanchemist .Ullmann was born in
Fürth and started studying chemistry in Nurenberg, but received his PhD of theUniversity of Geneva for work withCarl Gräbe in 1895. After some time in Geneva he went to Berlin in 1905.Ullmann taught technical chemistry during 1905-1913 and 1922-1925 at the "Technischen Hochschule Berlin" now "Technische Universität Berlin", first as part of the ordinary teaching staff, later on as aProfessor . In 1900 he introduceddimethyl sulfate as an alkylating agent. Between 1914 and 1922, when he was back in Geneva, he published the first edition of the "Enzyklopädie der Technischen Chemie" in 12 volumes (ISBN 3-527-20142-4) in English the "Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry", a publication that exists to this day. He was married to Irma Goldberg who was his assistant from 1905 to 1910 at his laboratory.They named after themselves the following reactions: the
Ullmann reaction , theUllmann condensation , theGraebe-Ullmann synthesis , theGoldberg reaction and the illustriousJourdan-Ullmann-Goldberg synthesis References
