Answer the following question about curcumin, a yellow pigmentisolated from turmeric, a tropical perennial in the ginger family and aprincipal ingredient in curry powder.
Most enols, compounds that contain a hydroxy group bonded to a C=C, are unstable and tautomerize to carbonyl groups. Draw the keto form of the enol of curcumin, and explain why the enol is more stable than many other enols.
What explains why many aldehydes and ketones can undergo self- condensation reactions in basic conditions?
A. The alpha carbon can lose a proton and act like a nucleophile and the carbonyl carbon a an electrophile
B. The alpha carbon can gain a proton and act like an electrophile and the carbonyl carbon is a nucleophile
C. The oxygen of the carbonyl group can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group
D. Only esters can undergo self-condensation reactions
