The 500 MHz 1H and 125 MHz 13C spectra of ergosteryl and 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate were recorded in C6D6 and CDCl3 and assigned using two-dimensional NMR techniques. It is shown that incorporation of an Fe(CO)3 or a Rh(acac) moiety onto the ring B diene system affects the chemical shifts of neighbouring protons and carbons. These changes are discussed in terms of the anisotropic properties of the organometallic fragments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
