The discussion of the Zimmermann reaction is partly incorrect (the base is not the oxidant). The formula of the enolate misses one hydrogen at the carbanionic site - the scheme should be reworked. The reference is wrong - it should be the preceding paper in the volume: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jo00289a043, even though the pertinent discussion is on the final page :)
