The first paper of this series (1) contained a report on an improvement in the Kurt Meyer titration and on the enol contents of a few ketones determined with

In its original form (1) the Kurt Meyer titration consisted of titrating the enol content of a ketone directly with a standard bromine solution according to Equation I:The Kurt Meyer titration has been improved by the use of the most polar halogen available (iodine monochloride) instead of Kurt Meyer's bromine (to speed up the reaction), and by neutralizing the acid formed in the addition, to eliminate a catalyst which would regenerate enol. The results thus obtained it may be hoped are more representative of the true equilibrium mixture.Philadelphia 2, Penn a.
