, ❖Introduction of Steroids :-
Steroids are a class of biologically active organic compounds which is either mode
naturally in the bodies of plants and animals or synthetically mode in laboratories
having four rings of carbon atoms (3-Cyclohexane ring & 1-cyclopentane ring)
arranged in a specific molecular configuration. There are a group of structurally
related compounds which are widely distributed in animals and plants. There
includes Steroids, Vitamin-D, bile acids, a number of Sex-hormones and adrenal
are based upon 1,2-cyclopentanophenanthrene nucleus, The steroids structure is
typically composed of 17 carbon atoms.
1,2 – Cyclopentanophenanthrene
In fact, a steroid may be defined as any compound which gives, among other
products, Diel’s Hydrocarbon (3-Methylcyclopentanophenanthrene) on
dehydrogenation with selenium at 633K (3600 C). However if the dehydrogenation
is carried out at a higher temperature i.e- 693K (4200 C) Steroids mainly give
chrysene along with a small amount of picene.
