The bis(pentamethylphenyl)-N-isopropyl-ketenimine [N-isopropyl-2,2-bis(pentamethylphenyl)-ethenimine] 11 undergoes pre-equilibrium N-protonation followed by water attack in 1:1 acetonitrile-water at 25°C. This is confirmed by the inverse solvent isotope e

The reaction of the sterically hindered diarylketenes (Ar = Me5C6 or 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with water is pH independent over the range 1-9 and is not subject to strong buffer catalysis.The primary products formed are the corresponding ene-1,1-diols which result from addition across the C=O (rather than the C=C) of the ketene.These "enols of carboxylic acids" are relatively long lived owing to slow protonation of the β-carbon (because of steric hindrance caused by the o-Me groups) and evidence for their structures in solution is presented.On attempted isolation of theene-1,1-diols facile oxidation to a stable free radical, as well as ketonisation to the corresponding acids, occurs.Evidence is presented in terms of the large negative entropy of activation (ca. 200 J K-1 mol-1), solvent isotope effects and the absence of significant general-base catalysis, that (despite the sterically hindered nature of these ketenes) the characteristics of their hydration are typical of other ketenes and that this most likely involves an initial concerted reaction with a water oligomer.Updated ab initio calculations are also presented, which are consistent with this view.
