22. 2O] was interpreted in ref. 8e as due to the inhibiting effect of water on enamine formation. Under the conditions employed in the studies we report here, this can be shown to be an order of approximately -0.7.
23. Reaction rate is determined from the slope of the conversion versus time curves in Figure 1 at any point in time.
