Q. Increasing order of expected keto content
A) $CH_{3}COC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
B) $CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
C) $CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
D) $CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COC_{2}H_{5}$
Explanation
(c)
The reverse of enolic contents of compound is ketonic contents. Thus, the correct order of ketonic contents are
$CH_{3}CHO > CH_{3}COC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COCH_{2}COCH_{3}$
