He then spent two semesters in Zurich and four semesters in Göttingen with Victor Meyer . In 1888 he was in Göttingen with a work to phytochemical studies doctorate .

From 1894 he worked as a private lecturer at the University of Saint Petersburg . In 1895 he moved to the Agricultural Institute of the National II Mechnikov University in Odessa . He defended his doctorate in 1896. Then he was appointed professor of organic chemistry and agricultural science at the new Alexander Institute for Agriculture and Forestry. From 1905 to 1921 he headed the Odessa Central Laboratory of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Empire. At the same time he was an assistant professor at Novorossiysk University. From 1918 he was a professor at the Higher Agricultural Institute in Odessa.

Services

In 1887 he developed a chemical proof that differentiates carbohydrates into ketoses and aldoses . As a Selivanov sample ( resorcinol sample) it bears his name.
