Skraup mainly dealt with the chemistry of natural products and made fundamental contributions here, such as the structure elucidation of quinine and cinchonine . In the field of synthesis, he developed the Skraup synthesis, later named after him, for the preparation of quinoline .
In 1886 Skraup was awarded the Ignaz Lieben Prize . In 1887 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
In 1940 the Skraupstraße in Vienna- Floridsdorf (21st district) was named after him.
