Kabachnik is a specialist in the fields of organoelemental compounds, heter-
ocyclic compounds, and theoretical organic chemistry. Although Kabachnik has
concentrated primarily on synthetic organic chemistry, he has also done systematic
work directed toward the solution of problems in fields related to that of organic
chemistry but lying outside of it, i.e., those of physiology, biochemistry, medi-
cine, and agriculture. Among ICabarhnik's scientific works and inventions, the
principal place is occupied by investigations on organic syntheses. In the course
of these investigations, he discovered new chemical reactions and developed new
, proposed
methods ifor~thesynthesisbofibeta-halogenatednestersuoftphosphorous acid, of beta-
halogenoalkylphosphonic acids and their diverse derivatives, and of esters of
vinylphosphonic acid. These mPt.t,n~tF ?r,_. h4_va _

of aldehydes or ketones with halogen compounds of trivalent phosphorus. Recently,
he developed a method for the synthesis of alpha-aminophosphonic esters from
aldehydes, diallglphosphites, and a?oria on the basis of a reaction discovered
by him.
In addition to the development of new s
cipal aim in his research work is the finding ofenew ciases~of organic1substances,
with the aid of which various problems of a theoretical or practical nature can be
solved, He synthesized the first knowr. representatives of the following nex
classes of compounds: alpha-ketophc^phonic esters, vinylphosphonic acids, beta-
halogenated esters of acids derived from trivalent phosphorus, beta-halogenoalkyl_
