Textbook Question
Chapter 6.SE, Problem 25EDRM
When isopropylidenecyclohexane is treated with strong acid at room temperature, isomerization occurs by the mechanism shown below to yield 1-isopropylcyclohexene:
At equilibrium, the product mixture contains about 30% isopropyl-idenecyclohexane and about 70% 1-isopropylcyclohexene.
(a) What is an approximate value of Keq for the reaction?
(b) Since the reaction occurs slowly at room temperature, what is its approximate ∆G‡?
(c) Draw an energy diagram for the reaction.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
