6. Geosmin is a volatile molecule synthesized by a soil organism. The characteristic 'after rain odor' is due to the release of Geosmin from the moist soil. The following reaction describes the formation of an intermediate from the biosynthesis of Geosmin. Provide arrow-pushing mechanism that accounts for the formation of this intermediate. Your mechanism should not explain the stereochemistry of the product OPP H₂O OH
