Abstract
The title compound, C21H33BrO3, an intermediate in the synthesis of the neuromuscular blocking agent rocuronium bromide, contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which have almost identical geometries: in both molecules, the steroidal rings A, B and C have slightly flattened chair conformations and ring D assumes a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br interactions help to establish the packing.

Summary
Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 298 K; mean (C–C) = 0.008 A; R factor = 0.053; wR factor = 0.125; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.9. The title compound, C21H33BrO3, an intermediate in the synthesis of the neuromuscular blocking agent rocuronium bromide, contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which have almost identical geometries: in both molecules, the steroidal rings A, B and C have slightly flattened chair conformations and ring D assumes a half-chair conformation. O—HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds and weak C—HÁ Á ÁO and C—HÁ Á ÁBr interactions help to establish the packing.
