How many tautomeric forms of molecular formula C_(6)H_(5)OH are possible ? |
|
Answer» TWO Phenols are much more stable than enols.Both phenols and enols can EB regarded as tautomers of a keto structure. The large resonance energy of usually causes the keto tautomer to be much more stable than the enol. However , the keto FORM of phenol can be attained only with the LOSS of the stable aromatic RING making it very much less stable than phenol. |
