Enols and enolate anions are intermediates in any number of important organic reactions, as undergraduates quickly learn when early on they have to grapple with the complexities of the iodoform reaction or the aldol condensation. This background is nicely summarised in Kinetics and mechanisms of enolisation and ketonization', by Keeffe and Kresge.. a particularly fine chapter which gives a very detailed insight into the ramifications of the topic.
The highlights are undoubtedly the chapters on 'Isolable and relatively stable enols' by Hart, Rappoport and Baili, and The generation of unstabl...
