95. (a) A reviewer proposed a negative hyperconjugation (60b, 60c) structure as an alternative to the one shown in Scheme 3 to account for a low barrier pathway to the α-F-elimination (eq 1) and for the positive charge on C (Scheme 2) in 3. Although such a negative hyperconjugation resonance structure may contribute to the overall system, it would not account for the strong negative charge on Rh (Table 9 and Scheme 1), because heterolysis of the C-F bond implies a removal of electron density from that site. The resonance forms implied in Scheme 3 would therefore appear to dominate in this case. For an early discussion of negative hyperconjugation in benzotrifluorides, see: Roberts, J. D., Webb, R. L., and McElhill, E. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1950, 72, 408
