Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 354
Question: Ethyl acetoacetate shows, which type of isomerism [Pb. CET 2003]
Options:
A) Chain
B) Optical
C) Metamerism
D) Tautomerism
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ CH_3COOC_2H_5 $ Shows tautomeric isomerism.
$ CH_3-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}},}},-O-CH_2-CH_3 $ ⇌ $ CH_2=\overset{OH\ }{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}},-O}},C_2H_5 $
