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

Consider the following un-catalyzed transformation and answer the questions which follow: A-A-A-A-A-A Assume the reaction is exothermic. (a) Is this reaction entropically favoured? Explain your answer (b) The reaction does not occur at room temperature. Will heating the reaction under reflux result in product formation? Justify your answer (c) "All exothermic reactions at room temperature will be favoured by carrying out the reaction at low temperatures (0 °C)". Is this statement correct? Explain fully (d) If the above un-catalyzed transformation reaction was endothermic, will it still occur? Explain your response.
