## Abstract Coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser effect measurements were used to establish the C‐20 configuration and the conformation about the C‐17C‐20 bond in a series of sixteen C‐20‐substituted 5β,14β‐pregn‐14‐enes. In the 14β‐pregnane series the conformation of the C‐17 side‐chain is v

Abstract
The four possible A/B cis‐fused diastereoisomers of Ambrox® have been synthesized and their configurations and conformations established by X‐ray and NMR analysis. Only 5β‐ambrox (= 1,2,3a,4,5,5β,6,7,8,9,9a,9bα‐dodecahydro‐3aβ,6,6,9aβ‐tetramethylnaphtho[2,1‐b]furan; 5) has an odor quality comparable to Ambrox®. The 1,3‐synperiplanar/diaxial conformation of the substituents at C(8) ( = C(3a)) and C(10) (= C(9a)) has thus been confirmed to be a compulsory structure element for the particular odor.
