The natural product halomon could theoretically arise from another naturally occurring compound known as myrcene. To accomplish this, a biochemical process that could deliver the synthetic equivalent of BrCi to all three double bonds would be required. (Chem Comm. 2014, 50, 13725) (a) Using three molar equivalents of BrCl, please provide a mechanism to account for the formation of the bracketed structure (you do not need to show stereochemistry in this mechanism) HB == (3 equiv) myrcene balomon
