Talk:Galeazzo II Visconti

message: I have reverted the image of the Visconti coat of arms to :File:Coat of arms of the House of Visconti (1277).svg on Bernabò Visconti‎, Galeazzo I Visconti‎, Galeazzo II Visconti‎, Luchino Visconti (died 1349), Matteo I Visconti, Ottone Visconti‎. This is because of the erroneous use of the :File:CoA Visconti.svg image that is historically inaccurate for the biographies of these pre-1395 Rulers of Milan.  Gian Galeazzo Visconti added the crown to the Visconti coat of arms in 1395 after he bought the title of Duke of Milan from Wenceslaus, King of the Romans. Peaceray (talk) 06:20, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps some mention might well be made of the fact that Hugh/Hugues de Brienne, was reportedly captured by the Catalans/Almogavars twice before finally dispatching him and his 299 Knights at Gagliano!  As well Walter/Gautier V de Brienne, was also dispatched by the Catalans/Almogavars in Greece!, loosing about 300 Frankish knights in this battle.  By the way, just what do you think of the odds of this happening?  Reportedly Hugh called his group by a very specific name (the Knights of Death), and the number of those lost is one of those strange groups numbering about 300!  Just compare these events with others, like the Spartans, and the Romans events including the loss of about 300 on the same day, possibly.  69.92.23.64 (talk) 19:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hermann Kolbe

message: Can anyone find a source for the method for Kolbe's creation of acetic acid from carbon disulphide? It isn't available in primary searches, which suggests to me that it might have been an inefficient method and could have been discarded by chemists in the long run. Which would also explain its absence from the main article of acetic acid. But being a milestone in organic chemistry, it at least deserves a mention on this page.DM224b (talk) 11:34, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The Kolbe synthesis was indirect.  In 1844, Kolbe published a paper describing the chlorination of carbon disulfide to yield carbon tetrachloride.  He also described passing the carbon tetrachloride through a hot reduction tube, isolating tetrachloroethylene from the reaction mixture. A third oxidizing reaction yielded trichloroacetic acid.  In a second paper of 1845 he noted that trichloroacetic acid was already known to be reducible to acetic acid; therefore, he claimed success in transforming carbon disulfide (an inorganic compound) into acetic acid (an organic compound), even though he had not actually performed that last step. Following this feat, he predicted a glorious future of organic synthesis. The references are Kolbe, "Notiz ueber einige gepaarte Verbindungen der Chlorkohlenstoffe," Annalen der Pharmacie und Chemie,  49 (1844), 339-41, and Kolbe, "Beitraege our Kenntniss der gepaarten Verbindungen," ibid., 54 (1845), 145-188.  For a discussion of these matters, see my (Alan Rocke's) book, The Quiet Revolution: Hermann Kolbe and the Science of Organic Chemistry (University of California Press, 1993), pp. 58-60.Ajrocke (talk) 17:31, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Creation of Acetic Acid 

message: Two comments on the first sentence in the section Work: "At that time, some believed that organic compounds could be created only by living organisms."
1. By the normal rules of English, "At that time" should mean the last time mentioned which is 1876, when vitalism was long dead. The context implies that the intended meaning is rather the next time mentioned, about 1843-45.
2. There is an apparent contradiction with the article on Wohler which suggests that his urea synthesis killed off belief in vitalism immediately. A more accurate history is found in Wohler synthesis which explains that Wohler convinced few at the time, and that vitalist belief persisted until Kolbe's work.
I suggest that the sentence above be modified to something like:
"As late as the 1840s, many chemists believed the doctrine of vitalism that organic compounds could be created only by living organisms. This belief persisted despite the Wohler synthesis of urea in 1828 which was considered an anomaly.

Namely, Fieser writes on p. 127/129 of his book ("The scientific method..", Reinhold, 1964): " (p. 127) In flying to Carlsbad, the colonel had landed at the Carlsbad Army Air Base, and had seen there a suitable test area. [...] The Colonel and I called on the Commanding Officer [= C.O.] [...] We were in luck. An auxiliary landing field had just been constructed in a remote area, and it was complete with observation tower and administration building. It was ours [.......] (p. 129) ... The photographer made ready to shoot and the rest of us were crouched around the sagebrush. Then someone glanced over his shoulder and saw smoke. The administration building was on fire. We saved the refrigerated truck parked alongside, but nothing else. The building, all our supplies, and some valuable photographic equipment, went up in smoke. The observation tower was a mesh of twisted steel girders. The test was over, and the Colonel and I had the unpleasant duty, in thanking the C.O. for his hospitality, of reporting the accident. The C.O. was not greatly concerned; after all, it was a secret project. [...] The accident really did not change the status of the project, which now seemed to me very promising..."
