An established reaction mechanism does not establish that the corresponding reaction occurs to a meaningful extent under a particular whiskey blend's composition, temperature and time.
Principle
An established reaction mechanism does not establish that the corresponding reaction occurs to a meaningful extent under a particular whiskey blend's composition, temperature and time.
Evidence And Locators
Clayden chapters 5, 10–12 and 39; close-reading examples printed pp. 208–211 and 251–258.
Application
Use a two-part statement: established mechanism plus application evidence. Demonstrating new compound formation requires appropriate analytical comparisons and controls.
Boundary
Physical redistribution, evaporation, sampling variation and perception can change observations without the proposed reaction.
