ANTON KOLLISCH
'Anton Köllisch' (1888-1916) was the German chemist who, whilst working at Darmstadt for pharmaceutical giant Merck, first synthesized the chemical MDMA that would later come to be known as ecstasy.
A patent was filed for the drug on Christmas Eve 1912, and was granted on June 16 1914. Köllisch, however, died as a soldier in the World War I in September 1916 with no idea of the impact his synthesis would have.
