Chemistry Nobelist Diels (4)

I believe the answer is:

otto

(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Male German name - a palindrome" , "Cooker" , "Four-stroke cycle -- palindromic name" , "Rose produces this" , "- Preminger, Austrian-born US film producer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
