The enol and keto form of acetylacetone are tautomer of each other .
The enol form have such geometry in which the atom are equally shared between the oxygen atom so thay are more stable

since the lone pair on the enol oxygen can delocalize across the five atoms to the electronegative carbonyl oxygen.
