Image Felix Hoffman.jpg thumb right Felix Hoffmann Felix Hoffmann January 21, 1868 &ndash February 8, 1946 was a Germany German chemist , credited for the first synthesized medically useful forms of heroin and aspirin , though some sources maintain that Arthur Eichengr n was the real creator of the latter. Hoffmann was born in Ludwigsburg and studied Chemistry in Munich . In 1894, he joined the Bayer pharmaceutical research facility in Elberfeld . He is best known for having synthesized acetylsalicylic acid ASA on August 10, 1897, for the first time in a stable form usable for medical applications. Bayer marketed this substance as Aspirin . However, this has been disputed. In 1949, Arthur Eichengr n published a paper in which he claimed to have planned and directed the synthesis of Aspirin along with the synthesis of several related compounds. He also claimed to be responsible for Aspirin s initial surreptitious clinical testing. Finally, he claimed that Hoffmann s role was restricted to the initial lab synthesis using his Eichengr n s process and nothing more. ref Eichengr n A. 50 Jahre Aspirin .
