✦ Synopsis


Proton chemical shifts for the C-18, C-21, -CO,CH,CH, and -CO,CH,CH, protons of epimeric ethyl esters of 20(R,S)-hydroxy-23-norcholanoic acids were measured in deuteriochloroform and pyridine-d, . The observed solvent shifts due to specific OH-pyridine hydrogen-bonded complexes allowed the quantification of the epimeric mixtures by analysis of the pyridine-d, 'H NMR spectra. The main features of the pyridine-induced shifts are rationalized in terms of the preferred conformations for the 2OR-and ZOS-epimers, which are predicted by molecular mechanics calculations.
