Chapter 16, Problem 16.42P

When cis-2-decalone is dissolved in ether containing a trace of HCl, an equilibrium is established with trans-2-decalone. The latter ketone predominates in the equilibrium mixture.

Chapter 16, Problem 16.42P, When cis-2-decalone is dissolved in ether containing a trace of HCl, an equilibrium is established

Propose a mechanism for this isomerization and account for the fact that the trans isomer predominates at equilibrium.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone
