I want to include a synthetic reaction that is known as Clar's reaction. It is of a certain class of cyclic ketones that condense with themselves when heated to 400 C in a mixture of zinc dust and zinc chloride.
I will add references and a description of what it is used for in synthesizing new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Hello. I would like to request discussion regarding the wording in the sentence about Henri Lammens.You asked that citation is needed "Henri Lammens is controversial source". Here the the most latest references.
• The Royal Academy of Overseas Sciences biography (confirms Lammens' controversial reputation)
https://www.kaowarsom.be/en/notices_Lammens_Henri
"His virulent criticism of both historical and contemporary Islam regularly exposes Lammens"
|"Around 1910, Lammens shifts his focus to the earliest period of Islamic history. In works likeFātima et les filles de Mahomet (1912)he attempts a re-evaluation of the life of the Prophet and other key figures of early Islam. In these studies, Lammens not only stresses the inherently political character he sees Islam as having, a sentiment also expressed by other contemporary scholars. Replacing the traditionally positive depictions of the Prophet’s life by exceedingly negative images, he also marks himself off as a vigorously Catholic Orientalist, severely criticising Islam and its protagonists. Indeed, he not only targets historical Islam. Throughout his career, he publishes polemical articles on the politico-religious situation of contemporary Islam".
• A peer-reviewed academic article providing modern scholarly criticism of Lammens hostile and polemical views.
https://agj.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/agj/article/view/354/312
"The study of the Prophetic biography (Seerah) and its branches has occupied a significant space in the research interests of Orientalists, as they have approached Islamic topics with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. However, their studies have varied in fairness some were objective, relying on authentic and credible sources while adhering to sound academic methodology. Others, however, were biased and hostile, basing their research on weak and fabricated sources and employing flawed methodologies.Among the Orientalists who exhibited hostility and a lack of impartiality was Henri Lammens, who harbored deep animosity toward Islam in general and the Prophet Muhammad and his household (peace be upon them) in particular. This is evident in his book Fatima and the Daughters of Muhammad, the subject of this study, in which he sought to malign the Prophet and his family in every possible way".
