Question

The correct statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon, is : (A) a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as aldehyde-ketone equilibration. (B) a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation (C) a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism (D) a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol.

This process is called as keto enol tautomerism.

Q. The correct statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon, is :

a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as aldehyde-ketone equilibration.

a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation

a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism

a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol.

This process is called as keto enol tautomerism.
