Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for why hydrogen attached to carbonyl carbon in acetaldehyde is not exchanged with deuterium in the given reaction has to be explained.

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 are the location of hydrogen and double bond.
