Is the bond‐cleavage mechanism uni‐ or bimolecular in the reaction (a)? The search for the answer involved the use of enantiomerically pure ( R )‐(+)‐ 1 , reaction conditions with or without base, and detailed product analyses. The experimental results are consistent with a unimolecular pathway, which initially leads to a contact radical cation pair and then to a solvent‐separated radical cation pair.
