The equilibrium and kinetics of enolization of a carboxylic acid in aqueous solution have been determined for the first time. Remarkable is both the p K E value of 6.7 for 2 and the fact that fulvenediol 1 is a strong dibasic acid (p K a = 1.3, p K ′ a = 10.4) Compound 2 was obtained via 1 , formed by hydrolysis of photochemically generated fulvenone. The enol content of 2 is thus nearly nine orders of magnitude greater than that of mandelic acid.
