Contributions to organic chemistry

Johannes Thiele was ahead of his time in organic chemistry. After Kekulé's proposal for benzene structure in 1865, he predicted the resonance that existed in benzene in 1899 and proposed a resonance structure, by using a broken circle to represent the partial bonds.
   He discovered the condensation of ketones and aldehydes with cyclopentadiene as a route to fulvenes. He also recognized that these deeply colored species were related to but isomeric with benzene derivatives.
   Nobelist Heinrich Otto Wieland was his student.
