Get started for freea. Draw a three-dimensional structure for the following steroid.
b. What is the structure of the single stereoisomer formed by reduction of this ketone with H2 , Pd-C? Explain why only one stereoisomer is formed.
Treatment of cholesterol with mCPBA results in formation of a single epoxide A, with the stereochemistry drawn. Why isnโt the isomeric epoxide B formed to any extent?
Locate the isoprene units in each compound.

b.
(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the following description. Methenolone contains the tetracyclic steroid skeleton with a carbonyl group at C3, a hydroxyl group at C17, a double bond between C1 and C2, and methyl groups bonded to C1, C10 and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashed wedges for all stereogenic centers with the following information: The configuration at C10 is R, The configuration at C13 is S, the configuration at C17 is S, and all substitutents at ring fusions are trans to each other. (c) Draw the structures of Primobolan, the product formed when methenolone is treated with
