Draw the following reaction:
propenoic acid + methanol + acid catalysis = limonene isomer
intermediate #1
limonene isomer#1 + 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene + pressure = limonene
isomer intermediate #2
limonene isomer intermediate #2 + excess methyl magnesium chloride
+ mild hydronium workup = limonene isomer intermediate #3
limonene isomer intermediate #3 + acid catalysis + heat= a limonene
isomer
