Chapter 16, Problem 68AP

Draw the structure of ,-diethyl--propylthiopentane.  With explanation

A. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of nerolidyl pyrophosphate fromfarnesylpyrophosphate B. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of carbocation 1 from nerolidylpyrophosphate. Number the backbone carbons of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from 1 to 11 as shown, andinclude the carbon numbering in your structure of 1 C. Following from B, give an arrow-pushing mechanism to convert 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Use thebackbone carbon numbering from 1 to indicate where carbon atoms ended up in 2 and 3 D. In addition to forming epi-cedrol, carbocation 3 gives three minor byproducts: a diastereomericalcohol and two alkenes. Draw mechanisms that could give rise to these three products
