Question
Chapter 25.9, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A sequence of reactions that describes the formation of geranyl geraniol from farnesyl diphosphate is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Reaction of an allylic diphosphate with isopentenyl diphosphate produces a carbocation.
Deprotonation of this carbocation produces a phosphate with an additional double bond as compared to the carbocation.
Hydrolysis of this diphosphate produces the corresponding alcohol.
