10. Terpene is a class of naturally occurring molecules, found in many essential oils from plants, that share the
same alkene features. All terpenes have a similar 5 carbon unit that includes an alkene thought to be
biologically synthesized from the molecule isoprene.
All terpenes are biosynthesized from molecules with the good leaving group: pyrophosphate (OPP). Loss of
this OPP leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized carbocation. The new carbocation can undergo a
nucleophilic attack from a T-bond as seen in acid-catalyzed hydration and hydrohalogenation, forming a new
carbocation. This new carbocation can undergo an E1 reaction to form a new alkene.
Add the curved arrows of the following reaction.
