keto-enol tautomerism

(ˈkiːtəʊˈiːnɒl)
n
(Chemistry) chem tautomerism in which the tautomers are an enol and a keto form. The change occurs by transfer of a hydrogen atom within the molecule

Color of melanoidins might be connected with the enolization of sugars and racemization of amino acids (Kim & Lee, 2008).
S1 in Supplementary Material available online at https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/ 7520640) and Zn(II) complex (Figure 2), the absence of the v(N-H) and v(C=O) peak in the IR spectrum of Zn(II) complex indicates enolization of keto group in L1, which coordinated to the Zn metal center through enolate oxygen.
According to these results bromination selectivity occurred at a-carbon of the ketone favorable to enolization. All these reagents are readily accessible, easily storable in comparison with molecular bromine, less hazardous, easy to handle and facilitate maintenance of the stoichiometric ratio while carrying out the reaction.
The observed results were quantified using NMR spectroscopy with an internal standard leading to a general process that could potentially negate the need for the traditional three step process of oxidation, enolization, and 0-alkylation.
(1) The N(3)-N(13) and C(4)-N(13) bond lengths become somewhat longer owing/to the coordination with ligand HNMAMQ which takes place via N atoms of the azomethine (>C=N) group that was formed on enolization of (CO) group in all complexes [38].
In acidic medium, 5-oxoacids undergo enolization, and on selective oxidation, they result in malonic and substituted benzoic acids, which find widespread applications in synthetic organic chemistry.
The IR spectra of the Schiff base ligands (1a-3a) exhibit a strong band in the range 3026-3180 [cm.sup.-1]and 1672-1679 [cm.sup.-1] due to vNH and vC=O groups respectively, which disappears in the corresponding complexes suggesting the enolization of the -C=O of the aroyl keto group giving rise to the -C=N-N=C moiety [15 ] and consequent deprotonation upon coordination.
