enol-ketone tautomerism

Enol-ketone tautomerism refers to the reversible interconversion between an enol and ketone form of a compound, where the enol is characterized by the presence of an hydroxyl group (-OH) directly attached to a carbon atom with a double bond, and the ketone lacks the hydroxyl group and instead has a carbonyl group (=O) attached to the same carbon atom.
