Abstract

Abstract: Ago values for the isodesmic equilibrium between substituted acetophenone enols and the corresponding methyl enol ethers are calculated from previously reported data on equilibrium constants for keto-enol tautomerism and for enol ether formation from ketones. These values agree with those expected from literature data on analogous alcohol--ether isodesmic systems.
