Vedclass · Answer

(C) Statement $I$: Metamers are isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the distribution of alkyl groups attached to the same polyvalent functional group. Both $2, 6$-diethylcyclohexanone and $6$-methyl-$2$-$n$-propylcyclohexanone have the same molecular formula $(C_{10}H_{18}O)$ but different alkyl substituents attached to the carbonyl group. Thus, they are metamers. Statement $I$ is true.Statement $II$: Keto-enol tautomerism requires the presence of at least one $\alpha$-hydrogen atom adjacent to the carbonyl group. In $2, 2, 6, 6$-tetramethylcyclohexanone, all four $\alpha$-positions are substituted by methyl groups, meaning there are no $\alpha$-hydrogens available. Therefore, it cannot exhibit keto-enol tautomerism. Statement $II$ is false.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$A$. Tollen's reagent	$I$. Para-rosaniline + $SO_2$
$B$. Schiff's reagent	$II$. Rochelle salt + $aq. NaOH$
$C$. Rosenmund reduction	$III$. Ammoniacal silver nitrate
$D$. Fehling solution $B$	$IV$. $Pd + BaSO_4$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $2, 6$-diethylcyclohexanone and $6$-methyl-$2$-$n$-propylcyclohexanone are metamers.
Statement $II$: $2, 2, 6, 6$-tetramethylcyclohexanone exhibits keto-enol tautomerism.
