Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Structural formula of vitamin A has to be drawn showing the four isoprene units linked by head-to-tail and cross-linked at one point forming vitamin A.
Concept Introduction:
Terpenes are made by joining five-carbon units, usually in a head to tail-fashion.
Isoprene unit:
Branched end of isoprene – Head
Unbranched end of isoprene - Tail
Cross-link is a type of bond that links
