The steroidal hormone β-estradiol and its derivatives in which the hydroxyl functionalities have been protected by benzyl or dimethyl-tert-butylsilyl groups bond to a tricarbonylchromium moiety via either the α- or the β-face of the arene ring. Unambiguous differentiation of these diastereomers is difficult without recourse to X-ray crystallographic techniques. These molecules have been characterized by 500-MHz 1H and 125-MHz 13C NMR spectroscopy; assignments are made by using the two-dimensional techniques COSY and SECSY as well as heteronuclear shift-correlated spectra. Thus, high field NMR spectroscopy provides a straightforward method of differentiating between the α- and β-isomers.
