Stereochemistry and Isomerism

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on the stereochemistry of a molecule, the physical and chemical properties of the molecules vary.

31. Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? CH. HO Cholesterol 16 (a) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains a tetracyclic ring system. (b) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains 8 chiral carbons and can form 28 or 256 stereoisomers. (c) Each atom or group attached to a ring-junction carbon (i.e., carbons a-e) is in a trans or axial position. Because of this the tetracyclic ring system is mostly flat. (d) Cholesterol is used to synthesized vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and adrenocorticoid hormones. (e) Cholesterol is not found in the cell membranes of animals.
