The first synthesized organic compound in laboratory is
Updated On: Apr 7, 2025
- methane
- urea
- acetic acid
- ammonia
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Solution: The first organic compound to be synthesized in the laboratory was urea, by the German chemist Friedrich Wohler in 1828. He synthesized urea by heating ammonium cyanate, an inorganic compound, which rearranged to form urea: \[ \text{NH}_4\text{OCN} \rightarrow \text{NH}_2\text{CONH}_2 \] This experiment disproved the belief that organic compounds could only be formed in living organisms, marking the beginning of modern organic chemistry.
The correct option is (B): urea
