Ago values for the isodesmic equilibrium between substituted acetophenone enols and the corresponding methyl enol ethers are calculated from previously reported data on equilibrium constants for keto-enol tautomerism and for enol ether formation from ketones. These values agree with those expected f

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the hydronium-ion catalysed hydrolysis of the following heterocyclic methyl enol ethers have been measured: 3-methoxybenzofuran, 3+ethoxybenzothiophene, 3-methoxyindole, 3-methoxy-1-methylindole, 3-methoxyfuran, 3-methoxythiophene. -. and 2-methoxythiophene.
On the basis of the solvent isotope effect kH/kD = 3-.08 and the failure to detect deuterium exchange when the solvent was CDsCD:D20(9:l v/v) it was concluded that the rate limiting step in the hydrolysis of 3-methoxybenzofuran is C-protonation.
The effect of the ring-oxygen atom was measured by comparing the rate of hydrolysis of 3-methoxybenzofuran with that of 3-methoxyinclene which occurs 2100 times faster.
In contrast to the behaviour of 3-methyoxybenzofuran the isotope effects, RH/k
