Question
![Propose a complete curved-arrow mechanism for the formation of the fragrant terpene shown
below from farnesyl pyrophosphate. Show all cationic intermediates as discrete steps. You do not need to
account for the observed stereochemistry. Your mechanism should require no more than three
carbocationic shifts. Numbering your carbons will be helpful.
