The photohydration of phenylacetylene yields acetophenone enol as a transient primary product which was detected by flash photolysis. The identification of the transient intermediate rests on a quantitative comparison of its decay kinetics with that of authentic acetophenone enol generated by Norrish type‐II photoelimination from γ‐hydroxybutyrophenone in aqueous HCl and aqueous AcOH buffer solutions.
