Question
Draw a structural formula for the keto form of each enol.
Step 1
The enol form has a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a double bond (C=C), while the keto form has a carbonyl group (C=O). The transformation from enol to keto involves the migration of a hydrogen atom and the shifting of the double bond. Show more…
