40. 2 = 0.997), that probably indicates that the partial positive charge in the transition state should be mainly localized on the nitrogen atom and not on the aromatic ring.

43. Of course, substituents also influence the rate of the second step. However, the effect on the electron-transfer step should be much more important, as also shown by the observed electronic effects of the substituents.
44. Actually, for this reaction Watanabe et al. assumed that the radical cation undergoes a hydrogen atom transfer and not a proton-transfer reaction. At present, we cannot exclude that such a possibility occurs also in our case, the radical cation reacting with PINO to form an a-amino carbocation that can either be converted into the carbinolamine or react with the N-hydroxyphthalimide anion, produced in step a, to give the adduct (Scheme 1).
