Aleksandr Erminingeldovich Arbuzov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ермининге́льдович Арбу́зов; 12 October 1877 – 22 January 1968) was a Russian Empire and Soviet chemist who discovered the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction.
A native of Bilyarsk, Arbuzov studied in the Kazan University under Alexander Zaytsev.[1] He graduated in 1900 and became professor at the same university in 1911. After World War II he was put in charge of the Soviet Institute of Organic Chemistry.
In addition to his scientific research, Arbuzov also wrote A Brief Sketch of the Development of Organic Chemistry in Russian (1948).
