Given,

Given, Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?

Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?

Options

  1. AI and II
  2. BI and III
  3. CII and III
  4. DI, II and III

Correct answer

D. I, II and III

Step-by-step solution

All compounds show tautomerism.

Given, Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?

Given, Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?
Given, Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?

Of many types of tauomerism possible, keto-enol tauomerism is the most commonly encountered one.

It is possible in presence of α\alpha-C (wrt the carbonyl group), which is the conjugate C-H bond having sp3 hybridization.

Usually it is the α\alpha-C of the carbonyl group constituting a triad system, however it could also sometimes be the γ\gamma-C, if there is a C=C present on α−β\alpha - \beta carbons, constituting a quinquad system.

Compound (I) & (II) are have tautomerism in a triad system, while (III) involves a quinquad system as shown here:

Given, Which of the given compounds can exhibit tautomerism?
