Carbon‐13 NMR investigations of three fluorinated steroids

Abstract High‐resolution carbon‐13 NMR spectra were obtained for three solid fluorinated steroids. Assignments were carried out using several approaches, including two‐dimensional spectra of the compounds in solution. Solid‐state and solution‐state chemical shifts are compared. Signals from one of the fluorine‐containing carbons in each compound show the effect of interplay between shielding, dipolar and indirect scalar (J) coupling tensors. One sample is found to be a mixture of two polymorphic forms.
