A Geomimetic Approach to the Formation and Identification of Fossil Sterane Biomarkers in Crude Oil: 18-nor-D-homo-Androstane and 5a,14ß-Androstane.

A diazonium ion derived from 18-aminoandrostane rearranged upon decomposition by a carbonium and a carbenium ion to furnish a mixture of a cyclopropanated compound and two D-homo-androstenes. Hydrogenation of this mixture gave the saturated hydrocarbons, 18-nor-D-homo-androstane and 5a,14ß-androstan...
