JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.2 Organic chemistry isomerism

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: \(2,6\)-diethylcyclohexanone and \(6\)-methyl-\(2\)-n-propylcyclohexanone are metamers.

Statement II: \(2,2,6,6\)-tetramethylcyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement I: Metamerism arises due to different alkyl chains on either side of a polyvalent functional group. In ketones, the carbonyl group (\(>C=O\)) acts as the polyvalent functional group. In \(2,6\)-diethylcyclohexanone, the alkyl groups attached to the \(\alpha\)-carbons…
