Keto-enol tautomerism:- keto-enol tautomerism represents the  chemical equilibrium between a keto form (a ketone or an aldehyde) and an enol (an alcohol). Tautomers are two molecule, one have enol and other has keto forms. This reaction involves intermolecular transfer of proton from the active Carbon of the carbonyl compound to the O-atom of the carbonyl function.

,and

(propan-2-one)                (hexan-3one)                                           (2-cyclohexylethan-2-one)
