Compound A, C4H8O3, has infra-red absorptions at 1710 and 2500 to 3100 cm-1 and has the 1H NMR spectrum shown. Propose a structure for A.

Naturally occurring compounds called terpenoids, which we’ll discuss in section27-5, are biosynthesized by a pathway that involves loss of carbon dioxide from 3-phosphomevalonate 5-diphosphate to yield isopentenyl diphosphate. Use curved arrows to show the mechanism of this reaction.
