Nummetkin Sergey Semenovich Biography

Nummetkin is an outstanding chemist -organ and petrochemist, academician. Nummetkin was born in a family of an employee.

Soon after the family moved to Moscow, he graduated from the 1st Moscow Classical Gymnasium and in the year later, carried away by chemistry, switched to the natural department of the faculty and, under the leadership of N. Zelinsky, began to study cyclic hydrocarbons that are part of the oil. At this time, at the university, he listened to chemistry with N. Zelinsky, A. Sabanev, M. Konovalov, A.

Reformat, I. Kablukov; Physics - at N. Tsuv and P. Lebedev, crystallography - by V. Vernadsky, geology - by A. Pavlov, anatomy and plant physiology - by K. in Zelinsky, and was left at the university to prepare for a professorship. Having defended in the city of Nametkin, the next year he was elected professor, head of the Department of Organic Chemistry, VZHK, who led before, leaving in Nesmeyanov, the department of special organic analysis and synthesis.

Nummetkin was appointed head of the Department of Chemistry and Oil Technology of the State Research Oil Institute, where he was engaged in research on chemistry and oil technology. Nummetkin was appointed its director. Here he continued his work on the study of the chemical composition of domestic oils, the production of high -octane gasoline and valuable petrochemical products from oil hydrocarbon raw materials.

In the scientific activity of S. N. Metkin, two periods are traced: the first is devoted to the study of various classes of hydrocarbons, in particular, bicyclic; During the second period, research on chemistry and oil refining technology took the leading place. Thus, the studies conducted during the preparation of the master's thesis allowed a new way to formulate the mechanism of the Konovalov reaction reaction.

With the help of the latter S. Nametkin, he managed to establish the structure of a large series of biciclic compounds, he summarized the results of these studies in a doctoral dissertation. Starting in the GG. Nummetkin in the city of Bruce Camphenic regrouping 2 of the genus - regrouping of Nummetkin. In the beginning of the x. At the same time, he led the development of the process of obtaining a classic anti -discontanian for motor fuels - tetraethylsvin.

During the war years, he paid much attention to the improvement of oil processing processes, oxidative cracking, obtaining and analyzing the quality of motor fuels, and at the end of the 10th. The work of Nummetkin on the synthesis of fragrant substances and their receipt from natural objects made in the x. So, they received Enantol, Geraniol, Vanilal, Citral, Ionon, Jasminaldehyde and others.

For many years, it has become a table book for oil refineries and petrochemists. In Moscow University, since G. Pumumen, for several years, he read an abbreviated course in organic chemistry for biologists and geologists, and later special courses for chemists in chemistry of aliciplic compounds and essential oils. As a professor of VZHK, he taught here a mandatory course in organic chemistry for natural, chemical-pharmaceutical and medical faculties, and also led special course in stereochemistry, the methodology of organic chemistry, chemistry of alicious, camphor and essential oils and other sections of organic chemistry.

Nummetkin showed active interest in the history of chemical science. Among his works there are many articles on the life and work of such scientists as D. Mendeleev, A. Butlerov, N. Zelinsky, L. Chugaev, N. Kizhner, V. Tishchenko, I. Gubkin and others. Nummetkin - Laureate of the Little Prize A. Butlerov for the work of nitrogen acid on maximum hydrocarbons, was alerted twice as a state premium: in the city of memory in memory of The scientist named Streets in Moscow, Kazan and Baku by his name.
