The structure of the enol indicates that it is symmetric but I suspect that it is not. Also, I think that the enol form has been isolated free of the diketo, amazingly. --Smokefoot 15:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Is the reaction for preparation similar to the aldol reaction?
An important industrial application of acetylacetone is the calcium complex which is a useful thermal stabiliser for PVC resins and compounds. (57.67.16.50 10:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC))
I was replacing jpg images made User:J. Atkinson and I replaced the image of zinc acac with image:Zn acac.png. But, it is not mentioned in the text, so I am leaving it here in case anyone needs it. --Rifleman 82 03:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... I think you've found out. It looks like this image won't give a good representation of the hydrated molecule. What about the anhydrous? I can always delete this molecule if it doesn't fit. --Rifleman 82 03:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Just to make it easier for someone to fix this, I will repeat my description of the problem (from the edit summary that marked it). The problem is that the directionality of the equation for which the K is given is very important, and, while it is somewhat implicit which direction that is based on the first sentence of the paragraph, it really needs to be *explicit*, so that it would say "The K is 11.7 for the equilibrium of the keto to enol, as shown below:" Then have a diagram showing the equation, since there arent any plaintext characters that can represent the double arrows used in equilibrium equations. Thanks in advance to anyone who addresses this or even just attempts to -- my chemistry just isn't good enough, nor are my skills at searching the internet for such info.

This structural diagram is misleading. The central carbon atom in the enol form has one hydrogen attached, not two. This needs to be shown explicitly. Petergans (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
