Question

Which statement is correct?

Testosterone and nortestosterone possess a ketone at C-3 conjugated to a single bond at C-4 and a hydroxyl at C-17b.

Testosterone and nortestosterone possess a ketone at C-4 conjugated to a double bond at C-3 and a hydroxyl at C-17b.

Testosterone and nortestosterone possess a ketone at C-3 conjugated to a double bond at C-4 and a hydroxyl at C-17b.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone
