This manual provides an introduction to steroid chemistry, focusing on the analysis, conformation, and production of steroids. It is intended for general and organic chemists, biochemists, and research workers in related fields. The text covers essential topics such as physical methods for analysis, including UV, IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy, as well as spectropolarimetry techniques like Optical Rotary Dispersion and Circular Dichroism. Discussions also delve into the influence of steroid conformation and molecular rearrangements on reaction rates and products, improvements in estrogenic hormone synthesis, and the biosynthetic pathways and metabolism of cholesterol.
The purpose of this manual is to offer an introductory understanding of steroid chemistry. It details six chapters covering core topics and analysis techniques, providing a comprehensive overview for those seeking to expand their knowledge in this area. The content is designed to be accessible and informative, facilitating a deeper comprehension of the complexities involved in steroid research and development.
Introduction to Steroid Chemistry is a six-chapter introductory text of the analysis, conformation, and production of steroids. After providing a brief overview of steroid chemistry, this book goes on discussing the application of physical methods to the analysis of structural and stereochemical correlations in steroids, such as UV, infrared, NMR, and mass spectroscopy, optical rotary dispersion, and circular dichroism. The subsequent two chapters describe the influence of steroid conformation and molecular rearrangements on reactions rates and reaction products. The remaining chapters explore the improvements in the synthesis of the estrogenic hormones and the biosynthetic pathways and metabolism of cholesterol. This book will be of value to general and organic chemists, biochemists, and research workers in related subjects.
