N2  - The two hydroxyl atoms of pinacol exchange very rapidly and quantitatively with 3H2O even at room temperature. The rate of the pinacol-pinacone rearrangement in 99.7 per cent. D2O with unibasic acids at 100 °C is about 1.9 times faster than that obtained in ordinary water.   Although these results conform with the generally accepted mechanism, some features are unexpected.
