Question

Cyclohexanone tautomerizes in the presence of a catalyst (H⁺). Identify the product of the following tautomerisation reaction

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The tautomerization of cyclohexanone in the presence of H⁺ leads to an enol, specifically cyclohex-1-en-1-olIn acid-catalyzed keto–enol tautomerism, D⁺ attaches to oxygen, so the enol formed contains –OD → TCH₂–C(OD)=CH₂ .
