          Traugott Sandmeyer (September 15, 1854 – April 9, 1922) was a Swiss chemist after whom the Sandmeyer reaction, which he discovered 1884, was named.

          He became a professor of organic chemistry, although he never graduated with a degree in chemistry.

          Life

          Sandmeyer was born as the last of seven children and attended school in Aarau, studying to become a precision mechanic.

          His friend, J. Gustav Schmidt, studied chemistry at the Polytechnikum of Zurich (ETH), and their cooperation in conducting experiments led to Sandmeyer's close contact with chemistry.
