The enol-keto transition rate constants in 2′-methylacetophenone observed by Grellmann et al. [3] are calculated from first principles. The results reinterpret the proposed mechanism and show that proton tunneling is preceded by dissociation of a substrate-solvent complex rather than by rotamer interconversion. ; peer reviewed: yes ; NRC Pub: yes
