17. A negative ρ value indicates that the reaction site is stabilized by electron-donating substituents.
18. We note that Moss et al. interpreted the negative ρ value as indicative of an anion-like shift of the acyl group to the "vacant" carbene p orbital, an interpretation that contradicted their ab initio findings: R.
