Adolf Stachel (born 28 February 1913 in Augsburg, died 1971 in Frankfurt am Main) was a German chemist, researcher and inventor, who worked as a researcher at the chemical and pharmaceutical company Cassella (now Sanofi) in Frankfurt-Fechenheim for much of his career. He held a doctoral degree in chemistry (Doktoringenieur) from the Technische Hochschule München.
Early in his career, he was a mentee and collaborator of the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Hans Fischer, who was his doctoral supervisor.
He later became a researcher at Cassella.
His patents were related to basically substituted heterocyclic compounds, e.g.
2,3-benzotriazine-4(3H)-one derivatives (coumarin), and basically substituted 1H,3H)-quinazoline-2-thion-4-one derivatives, having excellent coronary dilator properties.
Patentee was Cassella.
When working at Cassella, he was a close collaborator of Armin K.W.
Kutzsche.
Together with Werner Zerweck they developed Nu-nu-dibenzylsulfamyl benzoic acid, US patent 2805250 A, in the early 1950s.
