Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: A skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called “andro,” from the given description is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Steroids, a group of tetracyclic lipids composed of one five-membered ring and three six-membered rings. These rings are lettered by A, B, C, and D. Most of the steroids contain two angular methyl groups. These methyl groups are numbered as C18 and C19 respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The addition of all wedges and dashed wedges for all stereogenic centers to steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione with the given information are to be stated.
