1H-1H Long range couplings in fused cyclopropanes. NMR spectral assignment and conformation of 17,18-cyclosteroids

1H-1H NMR couplings through four bonds ( 4JH-H) involving cyclopropane hydrogens were calculated for model compounds by semiempirical methods and used for the 13C and 1H NMR spectral assignment of 17,18-cyclosteroids. The couplings (4JHH) between cyclopropyl and non-cyclopropyl hydrogens follow an a...

Sumario:1H-1H NMR couplings through four bonds ( 4JH-H) involving cyclopropane hydrogens were calculated for model compounds by semiempirical methods and used for the 13C and 1H NMR spectral assignment of 17,18-cyclosteroids. The couplings (4JHH) between cyclopropyl and non-cyclopropyl hydrogens follow an angular dependence which resembles that of allylic couplings. Solution conformations of rings C-D and the side-chain of 17,18-cyclopregnanes were determined from semiempirical molecular orbital calculations, three and four bond 1H-1H coupling constants and NOE measurements.
