The title steroid, C29H46O4, is a furostene derivative with a C=C double-bond length of 1.353 (3) Å and an E configuration. The side chain is oriented toward the
face of the A-E steroidal nucleus and presents a disordered terminal CH2-OH group [occupancies for resolved sites are 0.591 (9) and 0.409 (9)]. The methyl group at C20 attached to ring E is also oriented toward the
face, avoiding steric hindrance with the carbonyl O atom of the acetyl group. The furostene and acetyl functionalities form an
,
-unsaturated ketone system, with an s-cis configuration. All hydroxy and carbonyl groups are involved in weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was assigned from the synthesis.
The diacetate of the title compound has been characterized by X-ray crystallography (Sandoval-Ramírez et al., 2003
), as well as a related furost-22-ene derivate with the C20 site substituted by a methyl group and an acetyl group (Meza-Reyes et al., 2004
).
