Abstract

To Auguste André Thomas Cahours (1813-1891) we owe the discovery and synthesis of a large number of chemicals, among them, amyl and allyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, cuminic and anisic acids, piperidine, organometallic compounds and radicals, and derivatives of phosphine and arsine, as well as important contributions to the theories of valence, isomerization in the aromatic series, density of vapors, particularly the abnormal ones, the use of PCl₅ as a chlorination agent, and the mechanism of respiration of fruits and flowers.
