Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C(28)H(44)O, the two six-membered rings have a chair conformation and the two five-membered rings haveenvelope conformations. The crystal packing exhibits no short inter-molecular contacts. The absolute configuration was assigned to correspond with that of the known chiral centres in a precursor molecule, which remained unchanged during the synthesis of the title compound.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
This lesson discusses the stability of substituted cyclohexanes with a focus on energies of various conformers and the effect of 1,3-diaxial interactions.
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

E2 Reaction: Stereochemistry and Regiochemistry
Elimination reactions of alkyl halides can yield one or more alkenes depending on the specific regiochemical and stereochemical considerations. While the regiochemistry of the reaction governs the location of the double bond in the product, the stereochemical requirements often influence the geometry.
When a substrate with two different β hydrogens undergoes an E2 elimination, the presence of a strong base can yield two regioisomeric alkenes. The more-substituted alkene is the major product and...
