30. N2 pathway). These facts are clear evidence for a trigonal carbenium ion intermediate which is attacked in an irreversible carbon-carbon bond forming step. A memory of chirality effect (cf. Zhao, H.; Hsu, D. C.; Carlier, P. R. Synthesis 2005, 1-16) appears unlikely to us, but cannot be ruled out according to the opinion of a reviewer.
