Summary

Description
English: Prototypical steroid 5alpha and 5beta stereoisomers, after Moss-IUPAC (1990). The two isomers are defined by a difference in the side of the largely planar ring system that the hydrogen atom at carbon-5 is attached (and a resulting change in the conformation of the steroid A-ring). Shown are the four rings most common to steroids, with standard IUPAC ABCD ring labels (blue), and the standard IUPAC number label for carbon-5 (red); the R at carbon-17 represents possible side chains at that position. The two isomers are drawn in line-angle representation, in the chair-envelope form (rings ABC chairs, ring D envelope), projected onto the plane of the page in the IUPAC-accepted horizontal orientation of the ring system, and with bonds extending above the plane of the page to terminal methyl groups and hydrogen atoms indicated with bold lines, and those extending below the plane of the page as cross-hatched lines. Only the hydrogen atoms at the tertiary carbons are shown explicitly; all remaining hydrogens in the line-angle representation are implied. Alternative representations of these extending bonds are as bold and cross-hatched wedges, respectively (or, for experienced viewers, simple straight lines, where the stereochemical relationships are inferred). Drawing created for "Steroids" article at English Wikipedia by delta0349, by graphical editing of chemical drawing program-generated generic chair-envelope images, using line and text editing features in GraphicConverter9.
