Q. Enol form is more stable in
A) $CH_{3}CHO$
B) $CH_{3}COCH_{3}$
C) $CH_{3}COCH_{2}COOC_{2}H_{5}$
D) Cyclohexanone
Explanation
(c)
The stabilishing effect of enolic form is the intramolecular hydrogen bond present in enols. This provides another source of increasing bonding and hence, increased stabilization.
Thus,
