The correct statement regarding a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its $\alpha-$carbon is:
- A$A$ carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its $\alpha-$carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as carbonylation.
- B$A$ carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its $\alpha-$carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as keto-enol tautomerism.
- C$A$ carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its $\alpha-$carbon never equilibrates with its corresponding enol.
- D$A$ carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its $\alpha-$carbon rapidly equilibrates with its corresponding enol and this process is known as aldehyde-ketone equilibration.
