%N Involution of natural numbers induced by Catalan automorphism *A089850 acting on the binary trees/parenthesizations encoded by A014486/A063171.

%C This automorphism effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane binary trees (letters A, B, C refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those nodes and () stands for an implied terminal node.)

%C ...B...C...........C...B

%C ....\./.............\./

%C .A...x....-->....A...x.................A..().........A...()..

%C ..\./.............\./...................\./....-->....\./...

%C ...x...............x.....................x.............x....

%C (a . (b . c)) -> (a . (c . b)) ______ (a . ()) ---> (a . ())

%C In terms of S-expressions, this automorphism swaps cadr and cddr of an S-exp if its length > 1.

%C Look at the example in A069770 to see how this will produce the given sequence of integers.
