Chapter 13, Problem 52P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Enol tautomer of 2,4-pentanedione has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Tautomerism is the ability of a molecule to exist in more than one chemical form. Tautomers are formed by the migration of a hydrogen atom, accompanied by the switching of a single and neighboring double bond.

The only difference in keto-enol tautomers is the location of hydrogen and double bond.
