Hello Mate. Here is your Answer.

Answer:

➡️Urea

Explanation:

It is widely accepted that urea is the first organic compound to be synthesized from inorganic chemicals. Wikipedia states that:

In 1828, the German chemist Friedrich Wöhler obtained urea artificially by treating silver cyanate with ammonium chloride.

AgNCO+NH4Cl⟶(H2N)2CO+AgClAgNCO+NHX4Cl⟶(HX2N)X2CO+AgCl

This was the first time an organic compound was artificially synthesized from inorganic starting materials, without the involvement of living organisms. The results of this experiment implicitly discredited vitalism — the theory that the chemicals of living organisms are fundamentally different from those of inanimate matter.

But, alloxan (a not-so popular organic compound!) was isolated in 1818 by Brugnatelli (according to Wikipedia) 10 years before the discovery of urea! So, is urea the first ever organic compound to be discovered or is it alloxan?
