Answer
Otto Wallach won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1910 for his work on alicyclic compounds. Alicyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain a ring of carbon atoms, but unlike aromatic compounds, they do not have alternating double and single bonds. Wallach's research on these compounds helped to establish the structural theory of organic chemistry and laid the foundation for the development of new drugs and other important chemicals.
