Chapter 16, Problem 37P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of keto form for the given enol form should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A carbonyl compound that has a-hydrogen on a-carbon changes its form to enol through resonance. Both the form stays in equilibrium.

a- hydrogen is the hydrogen which attached to a-carbon for a carbonyl compound. a-carbon is carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon. If a compound don’t have any a hydrogen is does not undergoes Keto-Enol tautomerism.
