89. This argument of possible nitrogen invertomers and metal carbenoid approach has been the rationale for explaining the stereochemical outcome of these ring-expansion reactions. This argument was discussed by West and co-workers (see Ref. 39) and has since then been discussed by Clark and co-workers (Ref. 37) and by McMills (Ref. 38).
