Which of the following compound can show tautomerism :
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
C, D
Solution:
Compound (C) undergoes oxime-nitroso tautomerism, where the hydrogen from the group migrates to the carbonyl oxygen, converting the quinonoid structure into a stable aromatic p-nitrosophenol form.
Compound (D) is an enol form of a -diketone, which exists in a dynamic keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium with its corresponding dicarbonyl form.
Compounds (A) and (B) cannot show tautomerism because they completely lack the necessary acidic -hydrogens (or active conjugated hydrogens) to participate in the proton shift.
