Steroidal sulphur compounds. Part X. Chiroptical properties of steroidal allyl sulphoxides
Abstract
The chiroptical properties of eight steroidal allyl sulphoxides were markedly influenced by the relative spatial orientation of the olefinic double bond and the sulphoxide group, and chirality at sulphur did not necessarily play a predominant role. The influence of solvent upon the chiroptical spectra of some of the sulphoxides depended upon chirality at sulphur.
