The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound does not exhibit tautomerism, we need to understand the requirements for tautomerism to occur. Tautomerism typically involves the interconversion between a keto form and an enol form of a compound. For this process to happen, the following conditions must be met: 1. The compound must have at least one alpha hydrogen (a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group). 2. The alpha carbon must be sp³ hybridized. Now, let's analyze the options provided in the question step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the compounds We have four compounds to analyze. We will check each compound to see if it has an alpha hydrogen and if the alpha carbon is sp³ hybridized. ### Step 2: Analyze each compound **Option A: RCOCH3** - This compound has a keto group (C=O) and a methyl group (CH3) adjacent to it. - The carbon adjacent to the carbonyl (the alpha carbon) is sp³ hybridized and has three hydrogens (CH3). - Therefore, tautomerism is possible. **Option B: RCOC=C** - This compound has a keto group, but the adjacent carbon is part of a double bond (C=C). - The carbon adjacent to the carbonyl (the alpha carbon) is sp² hybridized and does not have any hydrogen atoms. - Therefore, tautomerism is **not possible**. **Option C: RCOCH2CH3** - This compound has a keto group and an ethyl group (CH2CH3) adjacent to it. - The alpha carbon (the one adjacent to the carbonyl) is sp³ hybridized and has two hydrogens (CH2). - Therefore, tautomerism is possible. **Option D: RCOC(CH3)2** - This compound has a keto group and a carbon that is bonded to two methyl groups (C(CH3)2) adjacent to it. - The alpha carbon is sp³ hybridized and has three hydrogens (CH3). - Therefore, tautomerism is possible. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, we find that **Option B** is the only compound that does not exhibit tautomerism because the alpha carbon is sp² hybridized and lacks alpha hydrogen. ### Final Answer Tautomerism is not exhibited by **Option B**. ---
