NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
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
- 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
- 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.
