Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The three dimensional structure for the given steroid is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: In ball-and-stick model, each colored ball represents a specific atom and each stick represents a bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The structure of stereoisomer formed by the reduction of ketone group with H2, PdC is to be predicted and the reason why only one stereoisomer is formed is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Ring-flipping converts equatorial bonds into axial bonds and axial bonds into equatorial bonds. The reduction of ketone into alcohol can be done by using reagent H2 in the presence of palladium.
