Abstract
3β-Hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (C19H28O2.CH3OH) has been prepared for undertaking its crystallographic analysis and to investigate the role of intra- and intermolecular interactions in steroids. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group C2221 with unit cell parameters a = 6.7892(17), b = 12.624(2), and c = 41.136(5) A; V = 3525.7(12) A3 and Z = 8. The three-dimensional structure has been solved by direct methods. The final reliability index for the computed structure is 0.050 for 1088 observed reflections. Ring A exist in chair conformation, Ring B in half-chair conformation, and the Ring C assumes a distorted chair conformation. The five-membered Ring D adopts half-chair conformation. The A/B ring junction is quasi-trans while as B/C and C/D are trans-fused. The oxygen atom of the solvent molecule (CH3OH) is involved in O–H···O intermolecular interaction.
