Question
Chapter 22.SE, Problem 27MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanism for the reversible equilibrium isomerization of 2-substituted-2-cyclopentanones to 5-substituted-2-cyclopentanones is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the reversible equilibrium isomerization of 2-substituted-2-cyclopentanones to 5-substituted-2-cyclopentanones are i) abstraction of a proton from the γ-carbon to form a resonance stabilized enolate ion ii) Protonation at the α- carbon iii) Abstraction of a proton from other α- carbon to form a different resonance stabilized enolate ion iv) Protonation of the γ- carbon.
To propose
A mechanism for the reversible equilibrium isomerization of 2-substituted-2-cyclopentanones to 5-substituted-2-cyclopentanones.

5-Androstene-3,17-dione is isomerized to 4-androstene-3,17-dione by hydroxide ion. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
All rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an
electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from
an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift
can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen. Propose
a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cumene hydroperoxide to
phenol and acetone.
