Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The indication by the use of
Concept Introduction:
The alcohol group present in an organic compound is indicated by using suffix
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of alcohol present on the five membered ring of estradiol has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The process which converts the alcohol group present on five-membered ring in estradiol to functional group present in the same ring in estrone has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation is a type of reaction in which addition of oxygen atom or removal of hydrogen atom takes place. It occurs by loss of electrons. The carbonyls get oxidized to give carboxylic acids. The alcohols convert into carbonyls or carboxylic acids which depend on the effect of the oxidizing agents.
(d)
Interpretation:
The difference between sex hormones testosterone and estradiol has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Estradiol is a female sex hormone. The structure of estradiol contains two hydroxyl and one methyl substituents. It also contains one
