Q. Increasing order of expected enol content
A) $CH_{3}COCH_{2}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
B) $CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}CHO$
C) $CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}{COCH}_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
D) $CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{2}CHO$
Explanation
(b)
The percentage of enolic contents of some common compounds in decreasing order will be
[image:9_image194.emf] $> C_{6}H_{5}COCH_{2}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
$> CH_{3}COCH_{2}COOC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{3}$
$> CH_{3}CHO >$ [image:9_image195.emf]
