Farnesyl pyrophosphate is an important precursor in the biosynthesis of many sesquiterpenes. Starting with farnesyl pyrophosphate, draw curved arrows that would give intermediate X. Redraw intermediate X (yes, part of the challenge of this problem) and provide curved arrows towards the formation of b-caryophyllene.
