Question

The following molecule can undergo keto–enol tautomerization upon addition of hydroxide. Draw the structure of the enol form and the mechanism by which it forms. 

The image shows two chemical structures. 

1. The first structure on the left is a cyclic compound with a six-membered ring, resembling a cyclohexanone. At the top, there is an oxygen atom double-bonded to one of the carbon atoms in the ring, shown with two lone pairs of electrons.

2. The second structure on the right depicts a hydroxide ion. The oxygen atom carries a negative charge and has three lone pairs of electrons. It is bonded to a hydrogen atom. Below this depiction, the word “hydroxide” is written.

Each structure includes electron lone pairs depicted as dots, emphasizing the electron distribution and molecular geometry.
