Hi V8rik, in the file above the positive charge of the N in formula 3 is missing. Could you please be so kind to add this? Thanks from Germany --Mabschaaf (talk) 16:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Good Afternoon, V8rikI was looking at our discussion of the Woodward-Hoffmann Rules and noted that somehow we had listed the title as the (4q+2)s = (4q)s rather than (4q+2)s + (4q)a . But then I looked further at my comments which were not clear at all. What I should have said was that the number of the two terms needs to be odd, since (4q+2)s for 1 3, 5, etc will have 4n+2 electrons with a Hueckel system and be allowed. For this term being 2, 4, 6, etc one would have 4N electrons and a Hueckel system and be forbidden. For the (4q)a term being 1, 3, 5, etc one has a Moebius system and 4N electrons. With the term being 2, 4, 6 etc one has a Hueckel system with 4N electrons. Each "a" component adds one plus-minus node. Thus the 1970 rule really is just a way of paraphrasing the 1966 Moebius-Hueckel method of counting nodes around a cycle. I'm a bit sleepy this afternoon and hope I haven't made an error. With best regards, Howard Hez (talk) 20:12, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
A ground-state pericyclic change is symmetry-allowed when the total number of (4q+2)s and (4r)a components is odd is a correct representation?

ChalcohalideWhat is a chalcohalide? Is it any element of groups 16 or 17? Is it a compound of elements from group 16 and 17? I can't edit it until I know what the word means. Thanks. --Cheminterest (talk) 23:02, 14 April 2010 (UTC) Birch reductionHi, are you saying you've read the J.Chem.Ed. article and you agree with it? If so, I trust you're knowledge of organic chemistry more than I trust my own. If not, I'll email the authors and ask for a copy, because I don't understand what they're trying to say ;) Physchim62 (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
TO V8rikI hope I am on the right Talk page to contact you. Thus I have been meaning for some time to write you with an Apology. I am used to the rough verbiage many of us use in arguing views on mechanistic Organic chemical problems and Organic chemistry in general. I now see that in Wikipedia, no matter how strongly you disagree with something it is not proper to say anything more than that you disagree with it and that you think it is wrong. You have been pretty vociferous with me but I can take that, realizing that it has been a result of my criticisms. I suppose the problem arose mainly when the article I wrote was merged with the one already in Wikipedia. There definitely were things I didn't consider correct. Our views do differ. That should not matter but it has. In any case, please to accept my apology for being less than restrained. Wish very best wishes, Howard --Howard E.

Thanks for catching that error in "Stereochemistry of Ketonization of Enols and Enolates; Kinetic Protonation"To: V8rik From: Howard Z I really appreciate your catching that error in the article on "Stereochemistry of Ketonization of Enols and Enolates; Kinetic Protonation". The captions (giving the reaction conditions) for the enol acetate and the alpha-bromoketone had been reversed in error. I've fixed that now. It would not hurt to check. It is good to know that someone is noticing the articles I've worked on. For kinetic protonation it seems that only half the people making us of the phenomenon know about its origin. AND, it was "Rediscovered" twice - Takano in Japan and an old friend in Germany, Siegrief Hünig in Würzburg. In the last publication there is mention of the rediscoveries.

You are now a ReviewerHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC). Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

It was only the comment by Koala Paw who wanted that inserted a "the most important" item. That (4q+2)s & (4r)s Rule appeared in the 1970 booklet by Wood-Ward and Hoffmann "conservation of Orbital Symmetry". But whoever wrote the Wikipedia article had not included that item that Koala Paw wanted. Thus, if someone was going to insert that (4q+2)s & (4r)s rule, I wanted that person to be aware of its being a direct consequence of my Möbius-Hückel stuff. Thus, each (4r)s component has one +/- node with a an odd-number of these one has a Möbius cycle with a multiple of four electrons. As long as it is not inserted, then my comments are not relevant. There is another, unrelated point, namely that the 1961 Zimmerman-Zweig article was the first to present oragnic correlation diagrams and the conseequence of occupied bonding electrons going antibonding in a reaction. As a former student of Woodward and his friend, I have to believe that he was unaware of that earlier work. But it is relevant to the entire matter. V4rik, I think you and I have a lot in common, just judging by comments you have made. Best wishes, Howard Z I've put in Hez for my signature, not wanting to advertize my name everytime I write.

More on The Woodward-Hoffmann (4q+2)s & (4r)s RuleTo: V8rik From: Howard Z V8rik, I may have read your point too hastily and responded only to part. In tht 1965 Woodward-Hoffmann article there is discussion of 4q and and 4q+2 but in a different context than in their 1970 publication. In the 1965 article they have used these to describe the number of bonding and antibonding levels (or MO's). I haven't found a connection there to the number of molecular components of a basis set. I hope I'm not misunderstanding anything. V8rik, I'm assuming that this is the best place to put in stuff meant to reach you. Best wishes, Howard Z Hez (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Organosilver chemistryHey there V8rik I removed a sentence from organosilver chemistry: A notable compound is pentafluorophenyl silver obtained from the aryllithium compound and silver trifluoroacetate: C6H5Li + F3(CO)OAg → C6H6Ag + F3(CO)OAg as colorless crystals. It slowly decomposes in presence of oxygen with formation of the aryl radical and is sensitive to hydrolysis. The compound is stable up to 270°C. I just checked the history and found that you were responsible for the majority of the content. The text and the equation doesn't seem to match. Would you be able to check it, and re-add it with a ref? Thanks. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 22:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
XylenolIt surprises me that you would think such a detailed reaction mechanism is all that relevant to xylenol. (I'm assuming that's your reasoning for the revert, in the absence of any edit summary...)

R2CuLi + R'X couplingThe Substitution reactions subsection in Organocopper compound recently said (Certain items I bolded here):
It seems to me R'-Cu and R-R in the first sentence is not consistent with your reaction picture. Therefore, I changed the opening sentence to read:
for consistency with your picture (Corrections bolded here but not in article). If in fact the initial sentence was correct before, then you may want to reverse my edit and change your picture, or tell me to make these changes. If your picture is correct, perhaps it should also be added to the Gilman reagent article, perhaps in a simplified form. Also perhaps this reaction should be added to the list in Coupling reaction.
