Chapter 13, Problem 6CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation has to be given why the enol form of phenol is more stable than its keto form.

Concept Introduction:

Keto-Enol Tautomers:

Aldehydes and ketones many exist is an equilibrium mixture of two constitutional or structural isomers called tautomers.  Tautomers differ from one another in placement of a hydrogen atom and a double bond.  One tautomer is the keto form.  The keto form has the structural typical of an aldehyde or ketone.  The other form is called the enol form.

The enol form has a structure containing a carbon-carbon double bond (en) and a hydroxyl group, the functional group of alcohols (ol).  The keto form of aldehydes and ketones is most stable.
