Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Vinyl alcohol will not undergo polymerization to form poly(vinyl alcohol) need to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Keto-enol isomerization is possible when a keto group present in the compound has a movable hydrogen atom in the next carbon attached to the carbonyl group.  This occurs generally in almost all keto compounds where a chemical equilibria is present between the keto and enol form of the compound.  Conversion of keto to its enol form is known as keto-enol tautomerisation.

To Explain: why poly(vinyl alcohol) cannot be prepared from the corresponding monomer.
