Abstract: | The configurational assignment of stereoisomeric 3-bromo-3-acyl derivatives of steroids in both the 5α and 5β series has been carried out by comparing the 13C chemical shifts of C-3. A downfield shift is observed for C-3, bearing a bromine and an acyl group, on going from the isomer with an equatorial bromine to that with an axial bromine. This rule has been established by comparison of the 13C chemical shifts of model compounds in 4-tert-butylcyclohexanes of known configuration. |
