54
Q

when are two compounds said to be isomers

A

when their nomenclature is different

55
Q

what is carbonyl group

A

c double bond o

56
Q

what are the ways to identify the compounds in which tautomerism will take place

A

carbonyl group should have an alpha hydrogen attached to sp3 carbon atom
if the carbon connected to the carbonyl does not have a hydrogen attached to it then no tautomerism is possible

57
Q

tautomerism takes place in which mediums

A

acidic and basic

58
Q

explain tautomerism in basic medium and write structures

A

In basic conditions, a ketone or an aldehyde acts as a Brønsted acid donating a proton from an α-carbon to a base in the solution. This process gives a resonancely stabilized enolate anion
SEE STRUCTURES

59
Q

explain tautomerism in acidic medium and write structures

A

here a keto form changes into an enol form
an alpha hydrogen shifts to the o in cho and finally forms oh
the initial compound is ch3coh which is called keto form
the final compound is ch2 double bond coh(h) this is called enol form

82
Q

83
Q

tautomerism is obtained by the simultaneous

A

shifting of h atom

shift of double bond at 1 and 3 positions

84
Q

how is the enolic form stabilised

A

intramolecular hydrogen bonding

85
Q

what happens in 1,3 dicarbonyl compounds and why

A

the enolic form is much greater than in acetaldehyde and acetone because of intramolecular h bonding

86
Q

why is the enolic form in acetyl acetone much higher than in acetoacetic ester

A

because ketone is a much better withdrawing group than ester group

87
Q

which kinda bond makes enol content much more stable

A

conjugated pi bond

88
Q

why is the enol content more in hexane than in h2o

A

since h20 forms h bonds with keto forms thereby inhibiting the intermolecular h bonding of the enol form

89
Q

enol order in different solvents?

A

hexane>benzene>acetone>methanol>h2o

90
Q

what is the increasing order of enol content

A

aldehyde < ketone < ketoester < ketoester with ph group < dial < ketoaldehyde < diketone
