 KETO-ENOL TAUTOMERISM     Hello! It's Rémi again! For this blog post, I decided to write about a chemistry-related subject again. So, I chose one that was related to a reaction we saw in class recently. This blog post will be about keto-enol tautomerism. My source for this blog: https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Organic_Chemistry/Organic_Chemistry_(LibreTexts)/22%3A_Carbonyl_Alpha-Substitution_Reactions/22.01%3A_Keto-Enol_Tautomerism Important organic chemistry vocabulary: Enol: An enol is a moiety containing an alcohol (OH) linked to a carbon-carbon double bond. Ketone: A ketone is a moiety that consists of a carbon atom linked with a double bond to an oxygen atom and also to two other carbon chains. Tautomerism: Tautomerism, as seen in the previous image, is when a molecule can change between two different forms, simply by rearranging its atoms. These two molecules usually have different levels of stability. So, the more stable form, which is usually the keto form, is more
