Abstract

The enolization of acetoacetanilide (AAA) and benzoylacetanilide (BAA) has been studied in ethanol, methanol, dioxane and their water mixtures, by a bromometric method. The dependance of the amount of bound bromine upon the time interval between addition of bromine and quenching with phenol has been determined. The largest influence on the results was noted in polar solvents. On the assumption that bromination occurs instantaneously, discrete quench time results were extrapolated to zero time and enol contents at zero quench time have been calculated.
