Eugen Franz Freiherr von Gorup-Besánez (born January 15, 1817 in Graz , † November 24, 1878 in Erlangen ) was a German chemist.

Life

Eugen von Gorup-Besánez attended the humanistic grammar schools in Graz and Klagenfurt . From 1836 he devoted himself to studying medicine at the University of Vienna and the University of Padua . From 1839 he continued his studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In the same year he joined the Corps Bavaria Munich .

In 1855 he was appointed to the Erlangen chair for chemistry and became director of the university's laboratory. In 1859 he was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .

Gorup von Besánez provided numerous important studies in the field of organic and physiological chemistry and is considered to be the most important promoter of zoochemical analysis. Several of his works have been translated into several languages. One of his students was Heinrich von Ranke .

In 1876 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences in Göttingen . The Bavarian Academy of Sciences , he belonged to also as a corresponding member. When he died in the winter semester of 1878/79, the pharmacologist Albert Hilger took over the chair "ad interim". Jacob Volhard from the LMU Munich succeeded him in 1879.
