Edward Sucharda

[1] Edward Sucharda's work was distinguished by four main areas of interest: The first was related to the chemistry of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, which he took over from his mentor, Prof. Niementowski .

It included the development of synthesis of azaaromatic compounds: derivatives of pyridine, naphthyridine and phenanthroline (pupils and co-workers: Bogusław Bobrański, Henryk Kuczyński, C. Troszkiewicz, Zofia Skrowaczewska).

Another important work was the synthesis of indigo and its derivatives by an ortho-condensation route (jointly with Edwin Płażek).

The last topic appeared around 1936 and concerned the chemistry and processing of terpenoid products, including for example, the problem of obtaining camphor.

In total, he published 57 scientific papers, submitted 5 patents and co-authored two high school textbooks.
