Carbonyls are in equilibrium with enols because of tautomerism
•
the equilibrium heavily favours the carbonyl side
•
carbonyls can form H bonds with water but not other carbonyls because no partial charge on a hydrogen
•
enols can form H bonds with water and other enols because OH group so lone pair on O and delta +ve on H
•
saying 'pure carbonyls' in this context is referring to the theoretical circumstances in which no enols are formed
