Then he was appointed professor at the Agricultural Academy in Moscow. 1892-1900 Gustavson directed the higher women's education in St. Petersburg.
Scientific work
Gustavson's extensive work is unusually broad and includes research on general and organic chemistry . In 1877 Gustavson discovered the catalytic effect of the Lewis acid of aluminum halides (e.g. aluminum trichloride ) in several organic chemical reactions. In the process he discovered unstable complex compounds made of aluminum halide and organic substances. (so-called "Gustavson Ferments"). He investigated organometallic intermediates in Friedel-Crafts alkylation . Gustavson synthesized cyclopropane from 1,3-dibromopropane by the action of zinc dust ( Gustavson reaction ).
