Question:

(a) Complete the stepwise mechanism shown in Eq. 17.51 to give the product carbocation of Eq. 17.50.

(b) Examine each of the carbocations in the stepwise process you drew in part (a). What problem do you see with the stepwise mechanism?H \8+ :0 CH3 CH 3 CH3 CH3 CH3 HO. HC- CH3 H CH3 CH3 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (enzyme catalyst) H

:0  CH3 8+ CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C- CH3 CH3 H H3C- H

HO. CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 etc. HC- H (17.51)
