Publisher Summary This chapter presents the reversible hydration of carbonyl compounds. The formation of stable solid hydrates is well known for aldehydes and ketones containing several electronegative substituents and for some di- and triketones. The chapter discusses the chemical and biological reactivity of carbonyl compounds in aqueous solution, and they have proved kinetically very convenient for studying problems of homogeneous catalysis. The hydration equilibrium constants are briefly described. Later, the experimental methods and results relevant to acidity of carbonyl hydrates are discussed. The kinetics of hydration and dehydration reactions is also presented. Hydration and dehydration reactions have proved particularly convenient for studying catalysis by acids and bases over a wide range of structures and catalytic power. The absolute rate constants are relatively low even with very strong acids or bases, and diffusion-controlled rates are not approached for either the forward or reverse reactions.
