(a)
Interpretation:
Isoprene units in the given set of compounds need to be circled.
Concept introduction:
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds which share a common feature. All terpenes are thought to be assembled from isoprene units having five carbon atoms. So the structure of terpenes has the carbon atoms in multiples of five only.
The isoprene units are identified by following few steps namely,
- Identify the number of isoprene units
- Look for methyl group
- Trial and error to find isoprene unit
To identify: the isoprene units in menthol
(b)

Thank you!arrow_forwardCould you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but (color-coded) and step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you! I want to see what they are doingarrow_forwardCan you please help mne with this problem. Im a visual person, so can you redraw it, potentislly color code and then as well explain it. I know im given CO2 use that to explain to me, as well as maybe give me a second example just to clarify even more with drawings (visuals) and explanations.arrow_forward
