Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas for the enethiol forms of 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The functional group ketone (keto group) will be in equilibrium with the enol (alcohol group) form which is said to be the keto-enol tautomerization.  The keto form is more stable when compared to the enol form. The keto-enol conversion reaction is
