Answer:
Explanation:
The equilibrium mechanism for the reversible acid is catalyzed by the isomerization of non conjugated β, γ- unsaturated ketones, like 3-cyclohexanone to their conjugated α, I²- unsaturated isomers.
Oxygen of the Carbonyl group in the ketone is protonated by the acid and this is followed by the abstraction of an α- hydrogen from the protonated 3-cyclo hexanone to yield ethanol
2-cyclo hexanone can be obtained by acid catalyzation of 3-cyclohexanone isomers through the formation of it's "enol".
