Tautomerism - Type of Isomerism

(i) The type of isomerism in which a substance exist in two readily interconvertible different structures leading to dynamic equilibrium is known as tautomerism and the different forms are called tautomers (or tautomerides).

The term tautomerism (Greek: tauto = same; meros = parts) was used by Laar in 1885 to describe the phenomenon of a substance reacting chemically according to two possible structures.

(ii) It is caused by the wandering of hydrogen atom between two polyvalent atoms. It is also known as Desmotropism (Desmos = bond and tropos = turn). If the hydrogen molecules oscillates between two polyvalent molecules linked together, the process is a dyad and if the hydrogen atom travels from first to third molecule in a chain, the process is a triad.
