42. Control reaction (7) might be interesting in its own right. Since γ-phenyl rings do not participate in solvolyses of simple systems, one interpretation is that the gem-dialkyl effect promotes phenyl participation and the 9% retention results from a double-inversion process rather than a simple racemization. Support for this idea comes from cyclization reactions, where four-membered-ring closure did not occur without geminal substituents: (a) Park, S.-U.; Varick, T. R.; Newcomb, M.
