- Department of Chemistry, Kakatiya University, Warangal-506 009 Manuscript received 4 December 1986, revised 21 July 1987, accepted 16th December 1987 The title reaction has been studied in aqueous acetic acid medium In presence of Hg (OAc)2. Order with respect to substrate, oxidant and [H+] is one in each. Added saccharin retards the rate of reaction. The reaction system did not Induce polymeri· sation of added acrylonitrile indicating the absence of free radicals in the system. Thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated. The order of reactivity among the two substrates studied is propiopbenone > butyropbenone. A suitable mechanism consistent with the observed results is proposed.
