description: "Julius Arnold Koch 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 University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy and held this position until his 1932 retirement. In 1897, he discovered, together with Ludwig Gattermann, the Gattermann-Koch reaction—a method of synthesis of benzaldehyde using carbon monoxide. He agreed to accept the status of dean only if the school's \"sessions [were] changed from evening to the daytime.\""
