Orgo II Tutorial: Introduction to Enols & Enolates

Answer 1

\({\bf{Enol~Structure~and~pKa:}}\)

Answer 2

\({\bf{Tautomerization:}}\)

Answer 3

with one practical exception, the keto form tends to form more readily due to the stability of the C=O bond. as the level of substitution on the double bond increases, the enol form becomes more favored.

one notable form happens when dicarbonyl compound is converted to enol form; the enol form appears with 76% composition due to the cyclical intermediate formed when the carbonyl is protonated

Answer 4
