Question
Chapter 27.5, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To propose the mechanistic pathways for the biosynthetic formation of the terpenoids like α-Pinene and γ-Bisabolene.
Concept introduction:
Pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene chemical compound. There are two structural isomers of pinene found in nature: α-pinene and β-pinene. Bisabolenes are a group of closely related natural chemical compounds which are classified as sesquiterpenes.
To determine:
The mechanistic pathways for the biosynthetic formation of the terpenoids like α-Pinene and γ-Bisabolene.
