Conformation of the esters of steroid hydroxyl groups by infrared spectroscopy

Infrared spectral studies show that the carbonyl group of the esters of steroid hydroxyl groups are stabilized near the adjacent alkyl hydrogen atoms; this energy of stabilization appears to be more than that of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and a nearby hydroxyl group.
