Substituted methyl 5β-cholan-24-oates II.13C NMR spectral assignment
The 13C NMR spectra were recorded and assigned for nine derivatives of methyl 5β-cholan-24-oates (esters of bile acids) including hydroxy, oxo and/or acetyloxy groups. Assignments were based on the empirical substituent-induced chemical shifts (SCS), spectral comparison with compounds of similar structure, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) and proton coupled 13C NMR measurements.
Fine plastic foil as backing for sputtered nickel targets
Targets of 58Ni and 60Ni with areal density between 71 and 105 μg/cm2 backed with polyimide foil of 35–40 μg/cm2 were prepared by sputtering with Ar ions produced by a home made sputtering device at the Target Laboratory, University of Jyväskylä. The efficiency of the procedure was about 20 %.
Substituted methyl 5β-cholan-24-oates. I—17O NMR spectral characterization
Methyl esters of four common bile acids, 3α-hydroxy-5-β-cholan-24-oic (lithocholic) acid, 3α, 7α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic (chenodeoxycholic) acid, 3α,12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic (deoxycholic) acid and 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic (cholic) acid, and 14 acetylated, trifluoroacetylated, mesylated and oxo derivatives of methyl 5β-cholan-24-oates were prepared and their 17O NMR spectra recorded. In spite of their relatively high molecular masses and the rigid molecular structure of the steroid skeleton, most of the oxygens included in these structures gave well resolved 17O NMR resonance lines at natural abundance in 0.25–0.5 M acetonitrile solutions at 75°C. In agreement with the …
