(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of isomers in limonene has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral carbon: A carbon is said to be chiral carbon if it is bonded to four different substituents.

Chirality: It refers to a Carbon atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.

Enantiomers: They are chiral molecules whose mirror images are not superimposable.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Possibility of having E, Z isomers in limonene has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Geometric isomers: Two compounds are considered as geometric isomers of each other if both contain same number of atoms but different in their arrangement.

E configuration: The geometric isomers are given E configuration if high priority groups are placed on opposite sides of the double bond.

Z configuration: The geometric isomers are given Z configuration if high priority groups are placed on same sides of the double bond.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for why isomers of limonene smell differently has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral carbon: A carbon is said to be chiral carbon if it is bonded to four different substituents.

Chirality: It refers to a Carbon atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.

Enantiomers: They are chiral molecules whose mirror images are not superimposable.

(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called "andro," from the following description.
