Abstract
The ketonization of vinyl alcohol in aqueous solution has been studied by means of ab initio calculations, using the STO‐3G basis set. The intervention of a chain of two water molecules reduces dramatically the potential barrier. This result agrees with experimental facts. Copyright © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
