Are these structures the same or different?

Question

2a, 17a dimethyl etiocholan 3-one, 17b-ol

and

2a,17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one

From the looks of it, it is the same. But I was curious if there was something that I was missing here?

Answer 1

without the structure it's hard to say. run them through aldrich or chemfinder, chemfinder's better with alternate names though. if the structure's different even for steriochem then they're different molecules

Answer 2

the names are cut-off...

you can always use a chemical search...

very often synonyms are available.
