Abstract

The title compound, C21H28O4, has a 4-acetoxy substituent positioned on the steroid α face. The six-membered ring A assumes a conformation intermediate between 1α, 2β-half chair and 1α-sofa. A long Csp3—Csp3 bond is observed in ring B and reproduced in quantum-mechanical ab initio calculations of the isolated molecule using a molecular-orbital Hartree–Fock method. Cohesion of the crystal can be attributed to van der Waals ...
