"<p>An enol is a species featuring a carbon-carbon double bond (alkene) that is directly connected to a hydroxyl group (-OH), while a ketone contains a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms and an aldehyde contains a carbonyl group bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. The &#39;en&#39; in enol refers to the alkene and the &#39;ol&#39; refers to the alcohol part of the molecule.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Enols can interconvert with ketones or aldehydes through a process known as tautomerization, where the double bond and hydrogen shift positions, leading to the formation of the more stable carbonyl-containing species.</p>"
