37. ± below that for diffusion control. Such an effect cannot be excluded even though this hydrogen bond is likely to be weak due to the very low basicity of the enolate oxygen. More importantly, even if there is some rate reduction due to hydrogen bonding, this does not affect any of our conclusions.
