Hii there,
# Answer - Friedrich Wöhler
# Extra information-
Earlier it was believed that organic compounds can only be found in living things and can't be synthesized in the lab.
Friedrich Wöhler (German chemist) was the first to synthesize an organic compound/urea from inorganic compounds in the laboratory. Hence he's called father of organic chemistry.
He has great contribution in foundation of modern organic chemistry.
Hope this was useful...

Friedrich Wöhler, He was the First Person who synthesized the Urea which is the Organic compound in the Laboratory.
Before he synthesized the Urea, It was believed that Organic compounds are found in nature and cannot be produced or synthesized in laboratory. But he proved that it can be possible to synthesized them.
It ws the fist attempt made by him towards the Organic chemistry and he also discovered many versatile reagent of the Organic Reaction.
