A) draw the structure of isoprene. B) on the structure of limonene, draw a circle around each of the two isoprene molecules that form it's structure.
4. (2 pts) Terpenes are plant products that are major components of es (2 pts) Terpenes are plant products that are major components of "essential oils". They are 4. thesized biologically from isoprene (2-methyl-1.3-butadiene). Limonene, shown below, is found in citrus fruits and contributes to their characteristic fragrance. Limonene is formed by combination of two isoprene molecules. a) Draw the structure of isoprene. b) On the structure of limonene, draw a circle around each of the two isoprene molecules that form its structure. Hint: The forward reaction of the isoprenes involves no C-C or C-H Ï-bond cleavage, so think about how two soprenes can come together such that their Ï-bond framework of each would remain intact.] CH Limonene soprene
