    von Hofmann, August Wilhelm (1818-1892)

    August Wilhelm von Hofmann
    German organic chemist. While he was teaching in London, William Perkin, his pupil, prepared (1856) the first synthetic dye. Hofmann returned to Germany and synthesized many new dyes, and for some 50 years thereafter Germany had the world's largest dye industry. Von Hofmann also discovered the Hofmann degradation process (see amide).
