Biographie

Adolf von Baeyer (1835–1917) was a German organic chemist born in Berlin, Prussia, who pioneered work in synthetic dyes and cyclic-compound chemistry. In 1905, Baeyer was the sole recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, an award that recognized his work on organic dyes and hydroaromatic compounds. This made him the first recipient of the Chemistry Nobel Prize who meets Jewish World Records eligibility criteria, which include partial Jewish descent. Sources that compile lists of Jewish Nobel laureates, such as JINFO, identify Baeyer as the first winner in the Chemistry category, noting that his mother was Jewish. The laureates from 1901 to 1904 do not appear in this qualifying chronology. Baeyer passed away in Starnberg, Bavaria, in 1917.
