Abstract
Thomas Anderson (1819-1874), a physician turned chemist, did most of his research in organic chemistry. He discovered butylamine, collidine, lutidine, picoline, and pyridine during the pyrolysis of coal and destruction of bone oil, studied the constitution of anthracene, piperidine, and codeine; the analysis and properties of alkaloids derived from opium, and prepared a large number of new derivatives of these organic bases.
