Interpretation:
The mechanistic explanation for the compounds, like
Concept introduction:
Stability of compounds depends upon the equilibrium shift. If the equilibrium shifts to the right, then the product is more stable and if the equilibrium shifts to the left, then the reactant is more stable.

A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was
enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product
shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result.

X (racemic)
(100% yield)
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is
unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions.
Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained.
O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product.
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X
remains unchanged.
So the purpose of this question is to choose any natural product (an organic compound or substance produced by a living organism that is found in nature) and then use it as the starting material in the synthesis of another compound.

In recent years, chemists have focused on designing and synthesizing molecules that
bind to estrogen receptors. One target of this research has been nonsteroidal estrogen
antagonists, compounds that interact with estrogen receptors and block the effects of
both endogenous and exogenous estrogens. A feature common to one type of nonste-
roidal estrogen antagonist is the presence of a 1,2-diphenylethylene with one of the
benzene rings bearing a dialkylaminoethoxyl substituent. The first nonsteroidal estrogen
antagonist of this type to achieve clinical importance was tamoxifen, now an important
drug in the treatment of breast cancer. Tamoxifen has the Z configuration shown here.
