Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra of Δ24- and C-24 saturated steroids
The infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of eight Δ24-steroids and nine C-24 saturated steroids were examined. NMR spectra allow unambiguous assignment of the biologically important Δ24-bond; introduction of a Δ24-bond causes the ...
