%X The kinetics of the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of a-methylallyl acetate in aqueous solution have been studied over the range 30-100º. Oxygen-18 tracer experiments reveal the mechanism to be solely Aac2 and the Arrhenius parameters are consistent with this conclusion. Crotyl alcohol is observed in the reaction products. The formation of rearranged alcohol is explained by allylic isomerization of the &#945;-methylallyl alcohol produced by the hydrolysis.
