Question
Chapter 14, Problem 62P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The mechanism for the biological conversion of linalyl diphosphate to limonene is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: In biological reactions, allylic carbocations are the intermediates that are required for the formation of limonene.
The general steps involved in the biological formation of limonene are stated below.
• The first step is the generation of allylic carbocation by the loss of the diphosphate group.
• The second step is the formation of six-membered ring.
• The third step is the deprotonation to give final product.

Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures. Only replace them! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 0 2 H± 3D EXP. L ד י CONT. 2 H 0 N оarrow_forward
