23. Nitrogen inversion is faster for arylamines than for alkylamines. The magnitude of the energy barrier to inversion in amines is correlated by the intergroup bond angle (α, C1-N-C2) and arylamines usually have larger intergroup bond angles (α, C1-N-C2) and are easier to invert. Both the wide angles and lower inversion barrier of arylamines are related to greater resonance stabilization by interaction with the arene π-system as planarity is approached. Koeppl, G. W.; Sagatys, D. S.; Krishnamurthy, G. S.; Miller, S. I. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89, 3396.
24. Another process that merits consideration is reversible dehydrogenation of intermediate B to give an anti-imine. This process, on its own, cannot account for loss of stereochemistry if only trans addition and elimination occur.
25. If none of the aryl resonances were accidentally equivalent, then 28 peaks would be expected; 24 were seen.
