Chapter 4, Problem 52P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the rings in fusidic acid needs to be labeled and their conformation needs to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Conformation can be used to define the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule may adopt or change by rotation about a single bond.Stereoisomers can be interconverted by rotation about a single bond.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All ring fusion in the molecule needs to be determined as either cis or trans geometry.

Concept Introduction:

Geometric isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism and it is also known as cis-trans isomerism. Cis indicates that the functional group is on the same side of the carbon chain. In the case of a trans functional group on the opposite side of the carbon chain.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the groups attached to the ring as being either αor β substituent needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: α - substituents are on the downside of the ring and β - substituents on the upside of the ring.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The differencein structure and stereochemistry offusidic acid and steroid needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Stereochemistry is a branch of chemistry deals with the study of the spatial arrangement of atoms and molecule andits effect on the chemical reaction.
