36. A referee pointed out that a straight line (slope 0.72) rather than a curved line is obtained even in the case of 4e, if all six data are used. Although the correlation coefficient is high (regression coefficient r = 0.986), we prefer to interpret the kinetic data in the high-acidity region in terms of leveling-off, because of our experimental observations by NMR spectroscopy of the facile formation of the relevant dication (ref 8).
