He studied under Justus von Liebig (1803-1873) in Munich, and in 1867 was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Innsbruck. In 1876 he succeeded Heinrich Hlasiwetz (1825-1875) as professor of chemistry at the University of Vienna.

He is remembered for his studies of benzol derivatives, and is credited with the discovery of resorcinol. With Adolf Lieben (1836-1914) he founded the journal Monatshefte für Chemie.
