Chapter 22: Q36E (page 752)

Heating carvone with aqueous sulfuric acid converts it into carvacrol. Propose a mechanism for the isomerization.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the process, the carvone is treated with aqueous sulfuric acid which produces carbocation intermediate. Then, the carbocation undergoes 1,2-Hydride shift and aromatization to produce Carvacol.
