Theoretical investigation of solvent effect on the keto-enol tautomerization of pentane-2,4-dione and a comparison between experimental data and theoretical calculations

The equilibrium constants of stable keto and enol forms of pentane-2,4-dione (known as acetylacetone) are estimated, using the second-order Moller−Plesset (MP2), density functional theory (B3LYP an...
