Abstract
Rate constants for decarboxylation of acetoacetic acid, its anion, and its imine with aminoacetonitrile have been calculated from equilibrium constants and distortion energies using No Barrier Theory. The mechanisms of decarboxylation of both acetoacetic acid and its imine involve preequilibrium formation of the zwitterion. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).Entities:
