33. While electron transfer and cleavage of the Ar-I bond may occur via a transient ion radical, there is also evidence that this process can take place in a single concerted manner, see a) L. Pause, M. Robert, J.-M. Savéant, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 7158;

35. Eliminated products would form, unless any anion present deprotonated compounds such as 13; as a cation 13 would potentially be acidic.
