Erich Clar page

[edit]

I want to include a synthetic reaction that is known as Clar's reaction. It is of a certain class of cyclic ketones that condense with themselves when heated to 400 C in a mixture of zinc dust and zinc chloride.

I will add references and a description of what it is used for in synthesizing new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Sorry

[edit]

Not entirely sure what happened there either. Thanks for fixing it for me. Patient Zerotalk 03:14, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - I thought the curly bracket wasn't fully closed and tried to fix it. Sorry about that. I didn't realise that had also changed all the dashes. Patient Zerotalk 03:15, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! Systematic names are a good pathological test of pretty much any parser, let alone trying to deal with the special syntactical meaning of braces and brackets in wikitext. DMacks (talk) 03:18, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You're absolutely right there...! Thanks once again - really appreciate you taking the time to explain in the edit summary, also. Patient Zerotalk 03:24, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
