“…The downfield shift of H 3 -28 from δ 0.77 in 10 to δ 0.93 in 4 supported the above conclusion. The 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR assignments of the side chain were identical to those of model compounds [29,30,31,32,33,34]. An S absolute stereochemistry at C-24 in 4 was proposed by careful comparison of 1 H NMR data with those of in dinosterol and its C-24 epimer [31], where the 1 H signals for H 3 -21 ( δ 0.921, d, J = 6.9 Hz)), H 3 -27 ( δ 0.779, d, J = 6.8 Hz) and H 3 -26( δ 0.836, d, J = 6.5 Hz) were close to those of dinosterol ( δ 0.919, d, J = 6.5 Hz, H 3 -21; 0.778, d, J = 6.5 Hz, H 3 -26; 0.837, d, J = 6.5 Hz, H 3 -27) rather than its C-24 epimer ( δ 0.910, d, J = 6.8 Hz, H 3 -21; 0.772, d, J = 6.8 Hz, H 3 -26; 0.848, d, J = 6.5 Hz, H 3 -27).…”
