The tautomer of propenol is
Correct answer: B. Propanone
- A. Propanal
- B. Propanone
- C. Methyl ethyl ether
- D. Butanone
Explanation
Propenol (CH₃CH=CHOH) is a tautomer of propanone (CH₃COCH₃), also known as acetone. Tautomers are molecules that can easily interconvert through the movement of a proton (H+ ion) or a group of atoms.In this case, propenol can tautomerize to propanone through the following reaction:CH₃CH=CHOH ⇌ CH₃COCH₃
