Question

Identify the correct enol form of 2-butanone.
C) both and 
D) none of these

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct enol form of 2-butanone would have a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, and a hydrogen atom on the oxygen atom. Choice C shows two possible enol forms, one where the enol hydrogen is on the first carbon atom (11eb6c44_58dd_34ee_8d9d_233c19dd31df_TB8310_00) and one where it is on the second carbon atom (11eb6c44_58dd_34ef_8d9d_4fcaef350ae1_TB8310_00). Both of these are correct enol forms of 2-butanone.
