Abstract: A series of ketones possessing one or two tertiary amino groups has been prepared and their rate of enolization determined. Rates of enolization were determined by use of one or more of the following kinetic procedures:(a) zero-order kinetics employing ketone in excess of the iodine trapping reagents (spectrophotometric);(b) first-order kinetics employing iodine trapping reagents in great excess over ketone (pH-stat); and (c) first- ...
