Get started for freeFlexibilene is a terpene isolated from Sinulariaflexibilis, a soft coral found in the Indian Ocean. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the formation of flexibilene from farnesyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. What is unusual about the cyclization that forms the 15-membered ring of flexibilene?
Axial alcohols are oxidized faster than equatorial alcohols by PCC and other oxidants. Which OH group in each compound is oxidized faster?

Explain why regularly ingesting a large excess of a fat-soluble vitamin can lead to severe health problems, whereas ingesting a large excess of a water-soluble vitamin often causes no major health problems.
Convert the ball-and-stick model of androsterone to (a) a skeletal structure using wedges and dashed wedges around all stereogenic centers; and (b) a three-dimensional representation using chair cyclohexane rings.
