Question
Chapter 4, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Stereochemistry of the drug droxidopa is to be shown using appropriate wedges and dashes in such a way that the configurations
Concept introduction:
On the basis of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules, the absolute configuration at a chiral center is determined.
After orienting the molecule such that the lowest priority group is away from the observer, if atom/group priorities excluding the lowest priority group follow a clockwise path, the absolute configuration is R. If the path followed is counterclockwise, the absolute configuration is S.

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.
(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the following description. Methenolone contains the tetracyclic steroid skeleton with a carbonyl group at C3, a hydroxyl at C17, a double bond between C1 and C2, and methyl groups bonded to C1, C10, and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashed wedges for all stereogenic centers with thefollowing information: the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, the configuration at C17 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other. (c) Draw the structure of Primobolan, the product formed when methenolone is treated with CH3(CH2)5COCl and pyridine. Primobolan is an anabolic steroid that can be taken orally or by injection and has been used illegally by well-known Major League Baseball players.
What is the degree of unsaturation for C6H8? Draw two possible structures.
