摘要:
The 1H- and 13C-nmr spectra of mestranol were assigned with the help of a 2 D-J-resolved, a 2D spin echo J-correlated (SECSY) and a 2D 1H-13C hetero-shift correlation experiment. The analysis of the spectra facilitated the identification of some of the photodecomposition products of mestranol. It was shown that, upon irradiation with UV-B light in water-ethanol (1:1, v/v), products are formed by oxidation of rings B and C of the steroid.
