Question
Chapter 30, Problem 30.32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the formation of flexibilene from diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate is to be drawn. The unusual about the cyclization that forms
Concept introduction: Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds that are present in plants and animals. Terpenes contain one or more isoprene units. Terpenoids are derivatives of terpenes with oxygen containing functional group such as carbonyl groups. Monoterpenes contain two isoprene units, sesquiterpene contain three isoprene units etc. Terpenes and terpenoids can be biologically synthesized from dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate.
