12. MO calculations on the ions 9 and 13, and also its O-protonated equivalents, would be desirable to give further insights into the competing reaction channels affording 10, 11, and 14. To simplify matters in Scheme 1, intermediates are formulated as species with negatively charged oxygen atoms.

24. In the latter case the negative charge of the oxyanion intermediate must be put on the "left" oxygen atom of the intermediate. However that would be an irrelevant formalism since rapid prototropy would be established in water. - A SET mechanism might also be considered; for MO calculations see: I. Rajyaguru, H. S. Rzepa, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1987, 1819-1827.
