Question
Chapter 27.SE, Problem 44AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How to draw the structure of diethylstilbesterol (DES) such that it is sterically similar to estradiol is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Estradiol has four rings fused together. Diethylstilbesterol has only two rings joined by carbon straight chain. The carbon straight chain can be arranged in such a manner in which they can give the other two rings required.
To show:
How to draw the structure of diethylstilbesterol(DES) such that it is sterically similar to estradiol.

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
