Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the acyclic biosynthetic precursor of flexibilene is to be given. The mechanistic pathway for its biosynthesis also is to be given.

Concept introduction:

The precursor of flexibilene is geranylgeranyldiphosphate (GGPP) obtained from FPP and IPP which on cyclization yields flexibilene.

To give:

The structure of the acyclic biosynthetic precursor of flexibilene and the mechanistic pathway for its biosynthesis.
