Question

Maximum enolisation takes place in

• A. $C{H}_{3}COC{H}_3$
• B. $C{H}_{3}COC{H}_{2}CHO$
• C. $C{H}_{3}COC{H}_{2}COC{H}_3$
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Aromaticity is the key factor in deciding maximum enolization in the given compound. Since aromatic compounds are more stable than any saturated /unsaturated(aliphatic), thus maximum enolization takes place in the aromatic compound.



is stabilized by resonance.
