Chapter 17, Problem 17.44P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The enol form should be drawn for given compound.

Concept Introduction:

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

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

Interpretation Introduction
