Abstract

The crystal structure together with unambiguous assignation of 1H and 13C NMR signals of 3-epismilagenin acetate 4 and 23-oxo-3-epismilagenin acetate 5 are described. Compound 4, crystallized as orthorhombic system a = 10.535(1) Å, b = 13.775 (1) Å, c = 18.347 (1) Å, α = β = γ = 90°; with space group P2 1 2 1 2 1 ; while compound 5 crystallized as a monoclinic system a = 10.380(1) Å, b = 7.327(1) Å, c = 17.881(1) Å, α = γ = 90°, β = 99.56(1)°, with a space group P2 1 . The presence a carbonyl group at C(23) in compound 5 produces a significant deviation from the chair conformation observed in compound 4. The effects of the side chain modifications on the puckering parameters derived from are discussed.
