Transcription
Life
A native of Strasbourg, France, he was a student of Louis Pasteur at the Sorbonne. In 1876, he became a professor of chemistry and mineralogy at the Sorbonne.
Friedel developed the Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions with James Crafts in 1877,[2][3] and attempted to make synthetic diamonds.
His son Georges Friedel (1865–1933) also became a renowned mineralogist.
Lineage
- Friedel's wife's father was the engineer, Charles Combes.[4] The Friedel family is a rich lineage of French scientists:
- Georges Friedel (1865–1933), French crystallographer and mineralogist; son of Charles
- Edmond Friedel (1895–1972), French Polytechnician and mining engineer, founder of BRGM, the French geological survey; son of Georges
- Jacques Friedel (1921–2014), French physicist; son of Edmond
