Abstract
(23R) 3α, 7α,23-Trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (IV) - a bile acid typical of some marine mammals - was now isolated from duck bile. Acid IV was characterized as derivatives V - VIII, XI and XII and oxidatively degraded to derivatives of 24-nor-5β-cholan-23-oic acid, XIII - XVIII. The 1H NMR spectra of these compounds and (23S) methyl ester X are discussed and the effect of substitution in position 23 on the chemical shifts of the methyl groups is summarized.
