हिन्दी Choose the CORRECT statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon atom.
- 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 rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation.
- A carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol.
- 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.
Correct answer · Option 1
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.
Explanation
Carbonyl compounds having \( \alpha \)-hydrogen rapidly equilibrate with their corresponding enol forms, a phenomenon known as keto-enol tautomerism.
