The correct option is False.

The first organic compound synthesized in the lab was urea. It was synthesized from silver cyanate and ammonium chloride. It is named Wöhler synthesis after the German chemist.

NH₄Cl + AgNCO → H₂NCONH₂

Urea was first synthesized in 1828 and its synthesis was the beginning of modern organic chemistry.
