Interpretation:
Given that 1-phenyl-2-butene has an ultraviolet absorption at λmax = 208nm (∈ = 8000). On treatment with a small amount of strong acid it isomerizes to give a new compound with λmax = 250nm (∈ = 15,800). A structure for the isomer is to be proposed and a mechanism for its formation has to be suggested.
Concept introduction:
Among two isomers with same molecular formula, the isomer that has extended conjugation will have a higher λmax value than the other.
To propose:
A structure for the isomer which has an ultraviolet absorption at λmax = 250 nm (∈ = 15,800) obtained when 1-phenyl-2-butene with λmax = 208 nm (∈ = 8000) is treated with strong acids. Further to propose a mechanism for its formation.

Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
