William Henry Perkin Jr., FRS FRSE (17 June 1860 – 17 September 1929) was an English organic chemist who was primarily known for his groundbreaking research work on the degradation of naturally occurring organic compounds.
Sir William Henry Perkin FRS (12 March 1838 – 14 July 1907) was a British chemist and entrepreneur best known for his serendipitous discovery of the first commercial synthetic organic dye, mauveine, made from aniline.
After working for the local gas company for a short time he went in 1886 to Germany to work under William Henry Perkin, Jr. in the laboratories of Adolf von Baeyer at Munich University . Back in England, he took a position as demonstrator for Perkin, who had been appointed professor at Heriot-Watt College, Edinburgh.
William Henry Perkin, Jr., FRS (1860–1929), who was known for his work on natural organic compounds. He was the eldest son of Sir William Henry Perkin who had founded the aniline dye industry. Sir Robert Robinson, (1886–1975), who won the Nobel Prize in 1947 for his research on plant chemicals anthocyanins and alkaloids.
In short. William Henry Perkin Sr developed the first mass-produced dye: Perkin’s mauve. He advanced organic chemistry knowledge through reactions such as ‘Perkin’s synthesis’ of unsaturated organic acids. He had three sons who all became accomplished chemists.
