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

Answer

Correct option: B.
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
b
This process is called as keto enol tautomerism
