Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of neryl diphosphate to 伪-pinene, 伪-pineneis a component of pine oil and rosemary oil.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

A stepwise mechanism for the conversion of neryl diphosphate to 伪-pineneis:

Step by step solution

01

Biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids

A diphosphate is a leaving group in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids.There are two main steps: one is forming a new sigma bond between two carbon atoms, and the other is forming a new pi bond.

02

Stepwise mechanism for the conversion of neryl diphosphate to  α-pinene

In the first step, diphosphate loss occurs, forming a resonance stabilized carbocation.

In the second step, a pi bond is formed by the proton loss (with a base B), forming a 伪-pinene.
