Kinetic and theoretical studies of the hydration of carbon suboxide

Annette D. Allen, Michael A. McAllister and Thomas T. Tidwell


Hydration rates in H2O of carbon suboxide are substantial but less than those of ketene, by factors of 2.5 × 103 and 5.2 × 104 for the neutral and acid-catalysed reactions, respectively, in qualitative agreement with ab initio calculated stabilities of probable intermediates.
