The correct statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon, is
- Aa carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation
- Ba carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism
- Ca carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol
- Da carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as aldehyde-ketone equilibration.
