(25R)-3β,16β-Diacetoxy-23-acetyl-22,26-epoxycholesta-5,22-dienen-hexane 0.8-solvate

Abstract

In the title solvate, C33H48O6·0.8C6H14, the steroid presents a conformation almost identical to that of its previously characterized benzene monosolvate [Sandoval-Ramírezet al.(1999).Tetrahedron Lett.40, 5143–5146]. Then-hexane solvent of crystallization is agglomerated in channels parallel to [100] in the crystal. The solvent molecule is disordered over two sites in the asymmetric unit, with occupancies of 0.46 and 0.34. A minor disorder for the carbonyl O atom of the acetyl substituent at position 16 in the steroid was also introduced, with two sites having occupancies of 0.7 and 0.3.
