Description: Ketones with Hydrogens on the "alpha" carbon will tautomerize to make the enol form at least a little bit. This enol form is willing to attack Br2 molecules, similarly to how alkenes react with Br2. However, there will be no brominium intermediate and instead the adjacent carbon loses an H atom. The end result is just alpha substitution of H with Br. Check me out: chemistnate.com
