(a)
Interpretation: The skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the given description is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Steroids are composed of tetracyclic lipids. They have structure containing three six membered ring and one five membered ring. Some of the steroids are biologically active.
(b)
Interpretation: The skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the given description about the configurations at the stereogenic centers is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Steroids are composed of tetracyclic lipids. They have structure containing three six membered ring and one five membered ring. Some of the steroids are biologically active.
The stereogenic centers with
(c)
Interpretation: The structure of Primobolan, the product formed on the treatment of methenolone with
Concept introduction: In the presence of base, the hydroxyl group loses its proton to form alkoxide. The alkoxide attacks on the carbonyl carbon of acyl chloride or acylic anhydride to leading to the formation of acyl group and removal of chloride. This process is known as acylation.

- Calculate the degree of unsaturation in each of the following formulas (a) Cholesterol, C27H46o (b) DDT, C14HgC15 (c) Prostaglandin E1, C2oH3405 (d) Caffeine, C8H10N402 (e) Cortisone, C21H28O5 (f) Atropine, C17H23NO3arrow_forwardIs the methyl group at the junction of rings C and D axial or equatorial to ring C?arrow_forwardThreonine, an amino acid, has four stereoisomers. The stereoisomer found in nature is (2S,3R)-threonine. Which of the following structures represents the naturally occurring amino acid?arrow_forward
- Linolenic acid and stearidonic acid are omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids that contain the first double bond located at C3, when numbering begins at the methyl end of the chain. Predict how the melting point of stearidonic acid compares with the melting points of linolenic and stearic acids. A current avenue of research is examining the use of soybean oil enriched in stearidonic acid as a healthier alternative to vegetable oils that contain fewer degrees of unsaturation.arrow_forwardN-methylpiperidine has the conformation shown. What does this tell you about the relative steric requirements of a methyl group versus an electron lone pair?arrow_forwardWithout referring to the chapter, draw the chair conformations of N-acetylglucosamine, glucose with the C2 oxygen atom replaced by an acetylated amino group.2arrow_forward
- Draw a line structure for (3Z,6S)-4-amino-6-phenylhept-3-enal with threedimensional information where appropriate. Place the aldehyde group on theright-hand side of your drawing.arrow_forwardLithocholic acid is an A–B cis steroid found in human bile. Draw lithocholic acid showing chair conformations, as in Figure 27-11, and tell whether the hydroxyl group at C3 is axial or equatorial.arrow_forwardWhich is the correct assignment of chirality at C2 and C4 of the following molecule?arrow_forward
- Draw Newman Projections representing the two highest and two lowest energy conformers of (3S,4S)-4-tert-butyl-2,3-dimethyloctane as viewed along the C3-C4 bond. b.) Label each conformer with theappropriate description then analyze them and rank their energies and explain your reasoning by specifyingthe types of interactions. (Hint: Draw the first and then rotate only the front or back carbon)arrow_forward-Sketch the Fischer projection and make a model of each stereoisomer (R and S) of the alcohol 2-butanol, CH3CHOHCH2CH3. Also sketch the monosaccharide glyceraldehyde, HOCH2CHOHCHO. Prioritize the four groups attached to the stereocenter with 1 being the highest priority and 4 being the lowest priority.arrow_forwardDetermine which of these two compounds is more basic CH3CH2NH2 or CF3CH2NH2?
