Question

8- automerization is a process in which an enol yields a ketone Give one example for
a keto to enol tautomerization. Which form is more stable. Also, which is more
stable the E isomer or the Z isomer of 2-Chloro, 2-Butene? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

A chemical equilibrium between the keto and enol form is known as keto-enol tautomerism. The keto-enol forms are converted into each other by the transfer of a hydrogen atom and the shift of a pi-bond.
