He was at the University of Göttingen in the group of Hans Hübner with the work over some derivatives of m-nitro-p-toluidine doctorate and followed Victor Meyer as an assistant to Heidelberg. In 1900 he was appointed professor of chemistry at the natural science faculty of the University of Freiburg . As the successor to Adolf Claus, he investigated both the chemistry of aromatic hydrocarbons and that of unstable inorganic compounds such as trichloramine . Among other things, he found out that cigarettes taste different in the presence of hydrogen cyanide.
The Gattermann synthesis and the Gattermann-Koch synthesis are named after him . He became known above all for his frequently reissued textbook on the practice of organic chemistry , also known as Gattermann's cookbook .
