He studied medicine and sciences at the University of Montpellier, where from 1858 he worked as a préparateur of chemistry. In 1862 he received his medical doctorate in Paris, and for several years worked as an assistant under chemist Charles-Adolphe Wurtz. In 1869 he became an associate professor and assistant director in Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville's laboratory at the Sorbonne, then from 1875 to 1884, he served as deputy director at the laboratory of chemical biology. In 1884 he succeeded Wurtz as professor of organic chemistry at the faculty of medicine in Paris.[1][2]
In 1889 he became a member of the Académie des sciences, being elected as its president in 1911.[1]
He is remembered for his discovery of carbylamines (1866) and for his pioneer investigations of ptomaines. His work with arsenical compounds was important to the development of modern arsenic therapy.[2][3]
