Lost control: The rationalization of the ambident reactivity of NO 2 − by the change between charge control to orbital control has to be revised. S N 1‐type reactions of carbocations with NO 2 − give kinetically controlled product mixtures only when these reactions proceed without activation energy (diffusion control). Activation‐controlled S N 1 alkylations are reversible and lead to the thermodynamically more stable nitro compounds.
