The potential energy curves involved in proton transfer reactions are discussed, with special reference to the base-catalysed prototropy of ketones. The assumption of covalent binding throughout is inadequate to account in detail for the relations observed between basic strength and catalytic power. Approximate calculations from first principles show that the ionic state may well be of importance in this type of reaction, and the energy curves constructed on this basis give a much more satisfactory picture of the experimental facts.
