Abstract

Rates of ketonization of the enol of acetophenone, generated by flash photolytic photohydration of phenylacetylene, were measured in aqueous sulfuric and perchloric acid solutions over the concentration range 1-50 wt.% acid; rates of enolization of acetophenone, monitored by bromine scavenging, were also measured in aqueous perchloric acid solutions over the same concentration range. The results suggest that the curvature ...
