Hello,
I am not how to name my product but I have made cholestan-3-one but instead of a carbonyl imagine an alkene, and then a nitrile at the terminal position. so basically NC-CH=CH-Cholesterol.
If I treat with pd/c under mild conditions to reduce the double bond, would you reckon to obtain only a single isomer taken into account that the cholesterol is more hindered on the top face (basically pd/c will add syn to the bottom face?). Or will it be a mixture of diastereomers?
Thanks in advance,
Nescafe.
