79. The relatively high scattering for the selectivity at low conversions is due to the strong effect of the experimental error on the selectivity for low conversions.
80. Amidine intermediates are not excluded, but not observed and therefore omitted in Scheme 3.

90. The reaction order for water cannot exactly be determined. The accuracy of the obtained values for the initial hydrolysis rates is not high enough due to the uncertainty in the extrapolation.
