Analytical Chemical Studies on Steroids. V. The Synthesis and Rotatory Dispersion of 12-Dehydrodigoxigenin and some Related Compounds

Abstract

Some 12-oxosteroids related to 12-dehydrodigoxigenin were synthesized and their optical rotatory dispersion was examined. On the basis of the optical data obtained conformation of ring C of these 12-oxo-14β-steroids was discussed.
