[edit] Diagram Error
The first mechanism diagram has a minor error. The carbon 1 of the oxime starts off as a secondary carbon but switches to being a primary carbon in the 3rd step and remains a primary carbon until the end. I believe one of the 2 methyl groups attacheh to the primary carbon in the first 2 steps should really have been a hydrogen atom (which was indicated in the later steps).

[edit] Numbering references
In my view Wiki has a problem numbering references.
- you cannot use reference twice: the count continues regardless
- including a url link will mess up numbering
- get the right order for the references is a nuisance
Solution: not have numbers at all in reference list. V8rik 22:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- You're right. Wikipedia has a rather poor mechanism for numbering references. However, without numbers it's not clear which citation goes with which reference. ~K 01:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

- V8rik, Go to Wikipedia:Footnotes. They added a bunch of explaination since I went there last. It seems much more helpful. ~K 03:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
