30. We define the terms "Grignard" and "Barbier" based on experimental procedures (eq 1) not mechanisms. In an intramolecular reaction, the halide and ketone are attached, so only the Barbier procedure is possible.

41. This assumes that ketyl opening is not reversible.
42. The postulate of intramolecular electron transfer suggests that iodoketones might to more reactive than alkyl iodides. The following competition experiment is constant with this suggestion. (Formula Presented)
