Water as a base in the acid–base catalysis of hydrogen exchange in ketones

Abstract

Values of kH2OT, the water-catalysed rate of detritiation, and kH3O+T, the hydronium ion-catalysed rate of detritiation, for acetophenone and p-nitroacetophenone have been measured at 50°C. It is concluded that water is acting as a base in the water-catalysed process.
