references[edit]
The earliest sources I found were
A. Williamson, Journal für Praktische Chemie, 1851, 52, 336-342 (german) DOI: 10.1002/prac.18510520139
A. Williamson ,Q. J. Chem. Soc., 1852, 4, 106-112, DOI: 10.1039/QJ8520400083

A. Williamson, Liebigs Ann.Chem., 1852, 81, 73-87 (german) DOI: 10.1002/jlac.18520810104
As you can see, most of them are in german, which I found somewhat strange, because he apparently lived in the UK during that time. Nevertheless someone might add one or two of these papers to the article.
- As far as i know, german was up to the first world war the international used language for chemistry, as english is it today for most parts of science. --128.246.31.6 (talk) 09:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Information regarding the SN2 mechanism should be included[edit]
I think some additional content as to the mechanism must be included. Ujjwal'swiki (talk) 17:30, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
I was going to add to the mechanism section and possibly add a citation for this section as well since there is not one cited for the mechanism section. Bthsctt22 (talk) 14:06, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
