Abstract
In order to correlate reactivity with geometry, the conformational analysis of 16,17α-epithiopregnenolone has been carried out using X-ray analysis, low-temperature circular dichroism and quantum chemical calculation. Lack of conformational homogeneity of the acetyl side-chain is revealed; however the conformational equilibrium is restricted to the conformers with relative trans-orientation of epithio- and keto-groups.
