At equilibrium acetyl acetone `(CH_(3)COCH_(2)COCH_(3))` exists mainly `(~~80%)` is enol form -explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Enol-form of acetyl acetone is stabilised by resonance. Beside this, its stability is further increased by strong interamolecular H-bonding. Similar stability in the case of keto-form is not possible. Hence, at equilibrium acetyle acetone exists mainly in enol-form.
