Alkanes undergo isomerization under acidic conditions through mechanisms involving carbenium ion intermediates, as supported by catalytic studies and theoretical models.

The analysis

The claim states that alkanes undergo isomerization under Lewis acidic conditions via carbenium ion intermediates. Papers [3] and [5] directly support aspects of acid-catalyzed alkane reactions and the stabilization of carbenium ion intermediates. The retrieved literature aligns with established organic chemistry principles regarding alkane isomerization.
