Hydroxy-steroids. Part IV. The preparation and spectra of steroid olefins

Abstract

Convenient preparations have been developed for a series of steroidal mono-olefins free from oxygenated substituents: this Series includes representatives of all but one of the possible endocyclic olefins. The infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultraviolet spectra of the compounds were examined with particular attention to the relative power and scope of the different techniques in structural diagnosis.
