Chapter 9, Problem 63IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given organic molecules amide-iminol tautomerism and plausible mechanism should be draw identified.

Concept Introduction:

Tautomerism: The two isomer of compound which differ only in the position of the protons and electrons. The carbon skeleton of the compound is unchanged, a reaction which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion it is called a tautomerism.

Amine-imine tautomerism: This is referring to a chemical equilibrium between an amine (primary, secondary, tertiary amines) form and an imine (an enamine, ketamine). The amine and imine forms are said to be tautomer’s of each other.
