3.They believed that, on treatment of beechwood lignocellulose with ozone the latter reacts with the cycllohexanone group.

5.Doisy initially stated that these and related degradation products possess several times the estrogenic potency of pure estrogen.
6.The author claimed that formula II is in good agreement with the following experimental results.

Thank you for your efforts.
