Substituent parameters were derived for the semiempirical determination of 13C chemical shifts in saturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, amines, ketones, and olefins. The olefin parameters are valid for six-membered rings and the remaining parameters for six-membered rings in chair conformations. The use of these parameters for the calculation of carbon resonances is illustrated with a number of examples.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of diastereomeric C-24 alkyl sterols have been assigned. Differences in the chemical shifts of side-chain carbons permitted the determination of the absolute configuration at C-24 in several sterols since these chemical shifts are insensitive to structural changes remote from the asymmetric centre. An unknown sterol from Tetraselmissuecica has been identified as (24R)-24-methylcholest-5-en-3β-ol and the configuration assigned from 1H nmr data to the sterol from Phaeodoctylumtricornutum has been confirmed. The utility and potential of this method in characterising new sterols and their biological precursors is discussed.

A semiempirical approach for predicting 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of acyclic hydrocarbons has been adapted to a microcomputer program. A series of methyl and dimethyl substituted cholesterols has been studied using this program, and the predicted shifts are in agreement with literature reports. Preferred conformations of the steroidal side chains have been also predicted and agree with previous studies. A simple rule for analyzing the trends in the chemical shift of the carbon C-20, which is sensitive to changes in the configuration at C-22, is also given, not only for hydrocarbon side chains but also for hydroxy substituted compounds.

The differences in chemical shifts of olefinic carbons, Δδ(sp2), of pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial six-membered allylic alcohols were correlated with the Δδ(sp2) values of their parent olefins. The results obtained reflect configurationally dependent substituent effects, the magnitude of which could be used for the stereochemical assignment of the hydroxyl group in these compounds.
