Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The two enol tautomer of the given compound has to be drawn and more stable structure has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Keto-Enol tautomerization: The enol and keto are said to be tautomer, are constitutional isomers that rapidly interconvert via the migration of a proton. The interconversion between an enol and a
The tautomerization is catalyzed by even trace amounts of acid (or base).
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.
Enol tautomer is much less stable than the keto tautomer.
Enol tautomer is more stable when enol tautomer is
Resonance: The delocalization of electrons which is characterized as several structural changes.
