The conversion of a keto form into enol is enolisation. It depends on structural factor, temperature
and nature of solvent. Resonance and hydrogen – bonding increases enol content. Enolic form of
phenol is more stable than keto form by –13 kcal/mol of energy hence phenol exist exclusively
as an enol. Enolic tautomer is less polar due to intramolecular hydrogen bonds than the
corresponding keto form. Any polar solvent would decrease the enolisation and favour keto
form intramolecular hydrogen bonding stabilized enol form by 7kcal/mol and resonance stabilizes
enol form by 15 kcal/mole
