Organic Chemists

This group collects the Chemistry subcategory's members whose defining work concerns organic chemistry: the synthesis, structure and reactions of carbon-based compounds, from named organic reactions to the total synthesis of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals. It is kept apart from Biochemists, whose members study the chemistry of living systems specifically, and from Polymer And Materials Chemists, whose members study long-chain macromolecules and engineered materials rather than organic synthesis in general.

Quote, Organic chemistry, History section, Wohler synthesis paragraph
In 1828 Friedrich Wohler produced the organic chemical urea (carbamide), a constituent of urine, from inorganic starting materials (the salts potassium cyanate and ammonium sulfate), in what is now called the Wohler synthesis.
