He attacked Laurent's work with substitution reactions involving chlorine in a paper he co-wrote with Justus von Liebig under the pseudonym S.C.H. Windler.
He attacked Laurent's work with substitution reactions involving chlorine in a paper he co-wrote with Justus von Liebig under the pseudonym S.C.H. Windler. He also co-discovered with von Liebig the benzyl radical providing support for one of his teacher's theories. This student of Berzelius, while attempting to prepare ammonium cyanate from silver cyanide and ammonium chloride in 1828, accidently discovered the synthesis with which he is most associated. Also credited with isolating silicon and beryllium, for 10 points, name this German chemist best known for his synthesis of urea.
