Talk:Knoevenagel condensation

The general formulae: Z-CHR-Z and Z-CHR1R2 are flawed, are they not? It seems that neither of these are possible reactants because the carbon must contain two acidic hydrogens, and these only have one. If no one disagrees, then I think this should be changed. 24.222.217.51 (talk) 23:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)Sander


 * No, March disagrees with you, according to him Z-CHR1R2 can be a reagent in Peterson olefination, just one proton! V8rik (talk) 17:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
