11. In addition to the different numbering system for steroids and benz[e]indenes, the nomenclature used for the assignment of the α and β stereodescriptors for benz[e]indenes and steroids is also different. For benz[e]indenes, the α-side of the reference plane is that side on which the preferred substituent lies at the lowest-numbered stereogenic position.
