Question
Chapter 27.SE, Problem 15MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanism for the conversion of ψ-ionone to β-ionone on treatment with acid is to be given.
Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the conversion of ψ-ionone to β-ionone on treatment with acid are i) Protonation of a double bond by the acid to yield a carbocation ii) Ring closure to yield a cyclic carbocation iii) Deprotonation.
To give:
The mechanism for the conversion of ψ-ionone to β-ionone on treatment with acid.
