Prevailing Mechanism: Mechanism (2)
[edit]Not sure how to comment properly, but I think the product formed here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketene_cycloaddition#/media/File:KetMech.png) is incorrect, if someone can double check? @OrganicReactions Testtubewasher12345 (talk) 18:16, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Testtubewasher12345: Unfortunately, pinging OrganicReactions/Michael Evans isn't likely to help.[Inside-Wikipedia Drama 1] I'm not sure what the problem with the diagram is, but I'm hardly an expert. If you can explain why you think the diagram is incorrect, the nice folks at WP:Wikiproject Chemistry would be happy to draw a correct diagram.
- (I've since moved the page contents to Ketene, but the picture you're worried about is still there, under Ketene § Stereochemistry.)

Inside-Wikipedia drama
[edit]- ↑ It seems Evans was a reference spammer and plagiarist who hasn't shown his face here since he got caught in 2010. A more charitable interpretation might be that he was a good-faith contributor who didn't realize that uploading review articles to WP put them in the public domain. He chose such niche topics that by the time the problem was explained to him, he'd dug himself a gigantic legal hole and figured it was better to hide. The problem with that interpretation is that he appeared to have been paid by the journal to upload the articles.
