26. 13C isotope effects in this work are controversial, but the deuterium effects are reproduced by theory: Hrovat, D. A.; Hammonds, J. H.; Stevenson, C. D.; Borden, W. T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 9523. Thus, to the extent that an olefinic sp2 carbon becomes a radical-like carbon in the radical anion, the frequencies at that carbon should be lower, see also: Pacansky, J.; Koch, W.; Miller, M. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 317.

The possibility that both protonation and nucleophilic attack are reversible with the rate-determining step involving general base catalysis in the removal of a proton, which would also give rise to general acid catalysis, is not involved.
