Configuration of dienestrol.
Uncertainty concerning the configuration of dienestrol was resolved by a detailed spectrochemical investigation, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, of the active drug and its stereoisomers. A symmetric structure in which the phenyl and methyl groups are cis about each double bond is unambiguously assigned.
