Question

Why tautomerism is not exhibited by (CH3)3CCHO

Open in App
Solution

Tautomerism essentially requires the presence of α-hydrogen (the hydrogen atom present generally adjacent to the functional group, or the hydrogen atom present on the carbon which is adjacent to the carbon attached to the functional group
In this case ,trimethyl acetaldehyde doesnot show tautomerism as they donot have alpha-hydrogen
