Chapter 4, Problem 4.64AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow mechanism for the acid-catalyzed isomerization of the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction on alkene in the presence of protic acids like ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ leads to the formation of alcohols generally. Sometimes the alkenes also undergo isomerization reactions leading to the formation of the more stable alkene.
