What type of change is involved in tautomerism ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Tautomerism:** Tautomerism is a chemical phenomenon where two isomers (tautomers) can interconvert through the movement of a proton and a shift of a double bond. It typically involves the transformation between a keto form (with a carbonyl group) and an enol form (with a hydroxyl group adjacent to a double bond). 2. **Example of Tautomerism:** Consider acetone (CH3C(=O)CH3) as an example of keto-enol tautomerism. In this case, the keto form is acetone, and the enol form is an enol derivative of acetone. ...
