Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 22.7P
The enol structures of the compound 2-methylcyclohexanone are shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of 2-methylcyclohexanone is shown below.
Figure 1
In the compound, 2-methylcyclohexanone, there are α-hydrogens present on both sides of the carbonyl group. The compound 2-methylcyclohexanone can undergo keto-enoltautomerism by the transfer of α− hydrogen. Therefore, the keto-enoltautomerism in 2-methylcyclohexanone is shown below.
Figure 2
The compound 2-methylcyclohexanone has two enol forms.
The enol structures of the compound 2-methylcyclohexanone are shown in Figure 2.
(b)
Interpretation:
The enol structure of the compound 2-methylpentanoic acid is to be drawn. The explanation as to why the compound does not form enol structure.
Concept introduction:
Ketone also exists in two forms which are commonly known as keto-enol tautomerism. Tautomers are isomers which differ only in the position of the protons and electrons of the double bond of the electronegative atom in the compound. There is no change in the carbon skeleton of the compound. This phenomenon which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion is known as tautomerism.

Answer to Problem 22.7P
The enol structure of the compound 2-methylpentanoic acid is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of given compound 2-methylpentanoic acid is shown below.
Figure 3
In the compound, 2-methylpentanoic acid, there is α− hydrogen present on one side of the carbonyl group. The compound 2-methylpentanoic acid can undergo keto-enoltautomerism by the transfer of α− hydrogen. Therefore, the keto-enoltautomerism of 2-methylpentanoic acid is shown below.
Figure 4
The enol structure of the compound 2-methylpentanoic acid is shown in Figure 4.
(c)
Interpretation:
The enol structure of the compound benzaldehyde is to be drawn. The explanation as to why the compound does not form enol structure.
Concept introduction:
The carbonyl compound contains a >C=O group. They are of two types

Answer to Problem 22.7P
There is no α− hydrogen in benzaldehyde. Therefore, it does not have any enol structure.
Explanation of Solution
The given compound benzaldehydeis shown below.
Figure 5
In the compoundbenzaldehydethere is no α− hydrogens present on either side of the carbonyl group. It is not possible that benzaldehyde will undergo keto-enoltautomerism. Therefore, no enol forms will be observed.
In benzaldehyde, due to the absence of α− hydrogen no enol structures will be obtained.
(d)
Interpretation:
The enol structure of the compound N,N-dimethylacetamide is to be drawn. The explanation as to why the compound does not form enol structure.
Concept introduction:
Ketone also exists in two forms which are commonly known as keto-enol tautomerism. Tautomers are isomers which differ only in the position of the protons and electrons of the double bond of the electronegative atom in the compound. There is no change in the carbon skeleton of the compound. This phenomenon which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion is known as tautomerism.

Answer to Problem 22.7P
The enol structure of the compound N,N-dimethylacetamide is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the given compound N,N-dimethylacetamide is shown below.
Figure 6
In the compound, N,N-dimethylacetamide there are α− hydrogens present on one side of the carbonyl group. The compound N,N-dimethylacetamide can undergo keto-enoltautomerism by the transfer of α− hydrogen. Therefore, the keto-enoltautomerism in N,N-dimethylacetamide is shown below.
Figure 7
The enol structure of the compound N,N-dimethylacetamide is shown in Figure 7.
(e)
Interpretation:
The enol structure of the compound N,N-dimethylformamide is to be drawn. The explanation as to why the compound does not form enol structure.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 22.7P
There is no α- hydrogen in N,N-dimethylformamide. Therefore, it does not have any enol structure.
Explanation of Solution
The given compound N,N-dimethylformamide is shown below.
Figure 8
In the compound N,N-dimethylformamide, there are no α- hydrogens present on either side of the carbonyl group. It is not possible that N,N-dimethylformamide will undergo keto-enoltautomerism. Therefore, no enol forms will be observed.
In N,N-dimethylformamide, due to the absence of α- hydrogen, no enol structures will be obtained.
