Abstract
Synthetically prepared 3-dehydroecdysone shows by n.m.r. spectroscopy a mixture of two and three components in 2H2O and [2H4]methanol respectively; only 3-dehydroecdysone is indicated in [2H5]pyridine. Although 3-dehydroecdysone is the sole component in [2H5]pyridine, it represents only 62% and 55% in 2H2O and [2H4]methanol respectively. Evidence indicates that the other component in 2H2O is a 3-[2H2]hydrate of 3-dehydroecdysone, and that in [2H4]methanol the other two components are isomeric [2H3]hemiacetals of 3-dehydroecdysone.Entities:
