Question

Keto-enol tautomerism is shown by
Options
A Benzaldehyde
B Acetone
Correct Answer
C Benzophenone
D Acetic acid
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Acetone (propanone, CH3COCH3) shows keto-enol tautomerism because it has alpha hydrogens that can be abstracted to form the enol form. Benzaldehyde and benzophenone lack alpha hydrogens on the carbonyl side, and acetic acid is a carboxylic acid.

Hint

Which ketone has alpha hydrogens for tautomerism?
