Document Summary
Dr. john c. vederas: structure and nomenclature - 47 points, draw structures for which names are given, or name the given structures by any correct (systematic or common) nomenclature. 2,4-tetradecadiyne-1-ol: determine whether the following pairs of structures are identical (i. e. different pictures of the same molecule), structural isomers, diastereomers, or enantiomers. (2 points each - 8 pts total). 4. enantiomers identical diastereomers structural isomers: 1. Dexamethasone is a synthetic drug which mimics the anti-inflammatory properties of adrenocorticoid hormones such as cortisone in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and has also been used for treatment of depression. It does have serious side effects, such as excessive appetite and water retention. Complete its structure using the partial drawing given below. False: dexamethasone has the same number of carbons as the pregnancy hormone, progesterone. False: a human produces about 1 gram of male or female sex hormone per day.
