Question
Chapter 3, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In each case, it is to be specified whether the designated substituent is axial or equatorial for the given steroid skeleton.
Concept introduction:
The position of axial and equatorial bonds in cyclohexane chair form is
If the two substituents are on the same side of the ring, then they are cis to each other.
If the two substituents are on the opposite side of the ring, then they are trans to each other.

(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called “andro,” from the following description. Andro contains the tetracyclic steroid skeleton with carbonyl groups at C3 and C17, a double bond between C4 and C5, and methyl groups bonded to 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, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other.
