how many seterocenters are there in cortisone ? please show in diagram .
6 stereocenters total, labeled 1 through 6; assign R/S configuration yourself if needed
Jantarei is right..there are 6 stereocenter..5 located in ring juncture, and 1 in the end ring.
You can't assign configuration of this molecule unless you know the bonds that are coming towards you and going away from you. However, if you assume the least priority group points away from you this molecule has following configurations
1S, 2S 3R, 4S, 5S, 6S
hate this chemistry...nearly failed in chemistry in 12..
O-chem sucks when it mixes up stereochemistry and synthesis together alongwith all functional groups.
