Abstract
AbstractThe electronic structure of 5α‐androstane, the parent hydrocarbon of the hormonal steroids, has been computed by ab initio SCF methods in an STO‐3G basis. The results are compared with existing MNDO computations and are used to discuss long‐range electronic interactions between distant substituents that might be appended to rings A and D of 5α‐androstane. It is thought that these interactions are mediated by the ribbonlike MO'S of the parent molecule.
