• Provide a more detailed mechanism (if possible, give an arrow-pushing mechanism image)
• add an application that uses this reaction to strengthen the article
• include reaction advantage (eg. how is this reaction preferred over other reductive reactions) and weaknesses (eg. under what conditions would this reaction not work)

So far, the only decent ref to Clemmensen in your sandbox is https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-50865-4_31. Please avoid computational analyses of mechanism. The other refs would be removed by me or other editors most likely. Rely on books (Organic Reactions is one of the very best). --Smokefoot (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspect journal. Good chance that its predatory (ask your teacher to explain). Like I said, Org Reactions is excellent and deep. Its a little old, but deep. There must be something in there to satisfy your homework. --Smokefoot (talk) 02:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Smokefoot: Here is my draft for the improved article. If you have a chance please take a look and let me know if there is anything I should change. Thank you!(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shiba111/Clemmensen_reduction). Shiba111 (talk) 23:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
