Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I : 2, 6-diethylcyclohexanone and 6-methyl-2-n-propylcyclohexanone are metamers.
Statement-II : 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylcyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
A.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
B.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
C.Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
D.Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: The two ketones are metamers (same group, different alkyls on either side); $2,2,6,6$-tetramethyl ketone has no $\alpha$-H so no keto-enol tautomerism — Statement-I true, Statement-II false.]
Statement-I is correct and Statement-II is incorrect
are metamers
No Keto enol tautomerism
