If organic and inorganic compounds were known from the time of the alchemists why is Wohler often called the father of organic chemistry?
Elements in the days of alchemists were radically different, as well as the definition of what is an element and what is organic/inorganic. What Wohler did for chemistry is open the door to realizing that the body is a chemical producing factory, and that these chemicals could be synthetically produced outside of the body. In the days of alchemy we really had a very select amount of base elements that they could achieve with the technology they had. Really the only elements they were able to reduce to were metals(clumped into one cateregory) and sulfur, as well as the other 4 elements which we should all know thanks to Bruce willis. Woehler synthesised urea from inorganic chemicals in 1828 (ammonia and carbon dioxide?). At the time it was believed that organic chemicals could not be synthesized from inorganic chemicals: The theory of Vitalism, that the 'life force' was needed to make organic compounds, held sway until that time . Woehler's work was a demonstration that this theory was wrong. Its overthrow, together with Kekule's work on molecular structure, led to the rapid growth of 'recipes' for the synthesis of organic compounds - compounds found in living organisms. Both Woehler and Kekule desrve to be called the fathers of organic chemistry.
