✦ Synopsis

The discussion of acid-base catalysis is concerned largely with the quantitative relationships which have been experimentally observed to govern the kinetics of reactions subject to general catalysis.

Consideration of the mechanism of acid-base catalysis is brief and limited, in the case of keto-enol tautomerism, to the familiar Pedersen concept of a duality of mechanism.

Complete omission of Swain's recently proposed mechanism (involving concerted electrophilic-nucleophilic attack on the substrate) is somewhat regrettable because of its possible significance to the general theory of homogeneous catalysis.

The book serves, however, as a valuable introduction to the Bronsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases and utilizes prominent experimental evidence to illustrate the various subjects under discussion.
