The Mechanism of the Clemmensen Reduction: the Substartes

Product analysis and deuterium labelling experiments suggest that the critical intermediate in the reduction of ArCOCH2R with Zn/HCl is a zinc-carbene; this may be protonated to give ArCH2CH2R, converted into ArCH=CHR by rearrangement, deprotonated to give a vinyl-zinc species, or captured by an alkene to give a cyclopropane.
