Keto-enol interconversion is also called keto-enol tautomerisation or enolization. The interconversion of the
tautomers can be catalysed by either acids or bases. In a basic solution, hydroxide ion removes proton from the
α − carbon of the keto isomer, forming an enolate ion. Protonation on oxygen forms the enol tautomer, whereas
protonation on the α − carbon re-forms the tautomer.
In an acidic solution, the carbonyl oxygen of the keto tautomer is protonated and water removes a proton from the
α − carbon, forming the enol.
