Four enols, two pairs of geometrical isomers.
Organic chemistry is also filled with the phenomenon which grants various properties to the element. One such effect is keto-enol tautomerism.
It is the phenomenon in which the ketonic group of a chemical compound rearranges itself and transforms into enol form. Enol is the representation of the ene means double bond and ‘ol’ represents the alcohol group. The ketone group is delocalized with the adjacent carbon atom and forms the enol structure.
When we see the structure of 3- hexanone we see that it can form into 4 enol structures.
The 4 structures occur in the pair of 2 pairs of geometrical isomers.
