Question
Chapter 25.16, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The tail-to-tail linkage synthesis of squalene by the nature has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Terpenes are made by joining five –carbon units, usually in a head to tail-fashion.
Monoterpenes are those terpenes with two isoprene units- have 10 carbons, sesquiterpenes have 15 carbons, diterpenes have 20 carbons, triterpenes have 30 carbons and tetraterpenes have 40 carbons.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate is the five-carbon compound used for the biosynthesis of terpenes.
According to the isoprene rule, the isoprene units are terpenoids joined by head to tail linkage or 1-4-linkage.
Squalene, first isolated from the liver of sharks (genus Squalus), has 30 carbons, 24 in the main chain and 6 in the form of methyl group branches.

Students have asked these similar questions
Are the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
My question is whether HI adds to both double bonds, and if it doesn't, why not?
