Such compounds exhibit keto-enol equilibrium. The migration of hydrogen atoms to keto group depends on the inductive effect of the alkyl group or other groups on either side of the –CH2-group. Example 1: Other Examples: Another example of unsymmetrical compound- When a compound containing active methylene groups reacts with a strong base the proton removal takes place from both keto and enol form and the resulting enolate is stabilised by resonance. 2 Reactions of EAA with strong base: 2.1 KETO-ENOL TAUTOMERISM Compounds of structurally distinct molecules which are present as equilibrium mixture and the two forms are readily interconvertible and the removal of one form from the mixture results in the conversion to other from in order to restore equilibrium. The term Tautomerism is coined by Laar in 1885 to describe the phenomemon of substance reacting chemically according to the two possible structures.
