He was a French chemist who helped in the founding of organic chemistry with his discoveries of anthracene, phthalic acid, and carbolic acid. He devised a systematic nomenclature for organic chemistry based on structural grouping of atoms within molecules to determine how the molecules combine in organic reactions. He studied under Jean-Baptiste Dumas #192122022 as a laboratory assistant and worked with Charles Frédéric Gerhardt #204509848. He died in Paris from tuberculosis.
