Julius Arnold Koch (August 15, 1864 – February 2, 1956) was an American chemist who was born in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. Koch graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1884. He was the first dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Pittsburgh and held this position until his retirement in 1932. In 1897, he discovered, together with Ludwig Gattermann, the Gattermann-Koch reaction (a method of synthesis of benzaldehyde using CO).[1] He agreed on receiving the status of dean only after his following concern was taken into consideration "I will accept the deanship if the sessions are changed from evening to the daytime."[2]
