In 1883 he was appointed Professor of Experimental Chemistry and Theoretical Chemistry in Stuttgart, as Fehling's successor. ( Karl Friedrich Marx (1832–1890) had been a professor of chemical technology since 1862. ) In 1889 he succeeded in synthesizing the longest hydrocarbon (with 60 carbon atoms) to date. Together with his colleague Wilhelm Dietrich , he arranged for their institute to be rebuilt from 1893 to 1895. In 1914 he retired due to an eye disease.
