4. (a) It is interesting that of the three types of C-H bond activation (oxidative addition, σ-bond metathesis, and electrophilic subsititution), electrophilic substitution seems most prominent in protic solvents, whereas oxidative addition is well established in nonprotic, organic solvents. However, the proposed step 4 → 5-h suggests an oxidative addition in the protic solvent, water.

11. The data from the first 2 h of heating were also fit to a linear expression to determine the initial rate of reaction. However, the precision of the data was greatly improved with the exponential decay method due to the increased number of data points for the fit.
12. The initial data show small deviations from the first-order exponential decay. This slight error is likely the result of initial temperature equilibration.

14. There is some discrepancy in the σ value for the ammonium substituent (0.66 vs 0.86), which is generally attributed to the positive charge of the ammonium. The σ values used herein are from: Hansch, C.; Leo, A.; Taft, R. W. Chem. Rev. 1991, 91, 165-195.
