19. From the data in Table 2 it is easily calculated that 2 picks out and delivers to benzenethiol one molecule of 3a mixed with 99 molecules of 6a with a probability of 99.7%. The small (ca. 2%) calculated yield of 6b in the final reaction mixture is almost exclusively due to the competing background reaction.
