MEYER, VICTOR (1848-1897) , German chemist, was born at Berlin on the 8th of September 1848, and studied at Heidelberg
Kirchhoff and H. L. F. Helmholtz. At the age of twenty he entered J. F. W. A. Baeyer's laboratory at Berlin, attacking among other problems that of the composition of camphor. In 1871, on Baeyer's recommendation, he was engaged by II. von Fehling as his assistant at Stuttgart
Polytechnic , but within a year he left to succeed J. Wislicenus
chemistry at Zurich University, he undertook to continue the lectures on benzene derivatives, and this led him to the discovery of thiophen. In 1885 he was chosen to succeed Hans Hubner (1837-1884) in the professorship of chemistry at Gottingen, where stereo-chemical questions especially engaged his attention; and in 1889, on the resignation of his old master, Bunsen, he was appointed to the chair of chemistry in Heidelberg
