The correct Answer is:
To determine which keto form is more stable than the enol form among the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Keto and Enol Forms**: - Keto form refers to the carbonyl structure (C=O) while the enol form has a hydroxyl group (–OH) adjacent to a double bond (C=C). - Generally, keto forms are more stable than enol forms due to the stability of the carbonyl group. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1**: - The keto form is stable, but when converted to the enol form, it forms an anti-aromatic compound. - Anti-aromatic compounds are less stable due to their violation of Huckel's rule (4n+2 π electrons). Thus, the keto form is more stable than the enol form. - **Option 2**: - The keto form is again stable, but the enol form has bulky groups that hinder its stability. - The steric hindrance from bulky groups makes the enol form less stable compared to the keto form. Therefore, the keto form dominates. - **Option 3**: - The keto form is stable, but when converted to the enol form, it violates the Bredt's rule, which states that a double bond cannot be formed at a bridgehead position in bicyclic compounds. - This violation leads to an unstable enol form, making the keto form more stable. - **Option 4**: - Similar to option 3, the keto form is stable, and the enol form violates stability rules, making it less favorable. - Thus, the keto form is more stable than the enol form in this case as well. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all four options, we find that in all cases, the keto form is more stable than the enol form due to various reasons such as anti-aromaticity, steric hindrance, and rule violations. ### Final Answer: In all the options provided, the keto form is more dominating than the enol form. ---

To determine which keto form is more stable than the enol form among the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Keto and Enol Forms**: - Keto form refers to the carbonyl structure (C=O) while the enol form has a hydroxyl group (–OH) adjacent to a double bond (C=C). - Generally, keto forms are more stable than enol forms due to the stability of the carbonyl group. ...
