Q 1 :

Highest enol content will be shown by:                              [2024]

(4)

More is acidic strength of acidic hydrogen in ketone, more is the percent enol content. In (3) and (4), there is active methylene group hence acidic strength of enolisable H is more as compared to (1) and (2). In (4), because of −I effect of carbonyl group, acidic strength of H of active methylene group is more as compared to that in (3). Hence (4) has highest percent enol content.

 



Q 2 :

Given below are four compounds :
(a) n-propyl chloride    (b) iso-propyl chloride
(c) sec-butyl chloride     (d) neo-pentyl chloride

Percentage of carbon in the one which exhibits optical isomerism is :       [2026]
