33. As transfer of hydroxide ion between the aqueous layer and organic layer may be rate limiting, the extent of adduct formation could increase over time until equilibrium is achieved. In the case of substrate 1, however, there is no increase in adduct formation when reactions mixtures were allowed to stir for longer periods of time.
