The formation of geranyl pyrophosphate, the precursor of the monoterpenes, from two molecules of IPPP requires that one of them be transformed to dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). In the equations below, only the covalent bonds of the carbon skeletons are shown, and PP stands for the pyrophosphate group.
