Question
A. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from
farnesylpyrophosphate
B. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of carbocation 1 from nerolidyl
pyrophosphate. Number the backbone carbons of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from 1 to 11 as shown, and
include the carbon numbering in your structure of 1
C. Following from B, give an arrow-pushing mechanism to convert 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Use the
backbone carbon numbering from 1 to indicate where carbon atoms ended up in 2 and 3
D. In addition to forming epi-cedrol, carbocation 3 gives three minor byproducts: a diastereomeric
alcohol and two
