(Received 7 December 2011; accepted 16 December 2011; online 23 December 2011)

The title cholestan, C28H46O3, was prepared by epoxidation of 7-norcholest-5-en-3β-yl acetate and crystallized by slow evaporation from an ethano­lic solution. All rings are trans fused. The 3β-acetate and the 17β-cholestane side chain are in equatorial positions. The mol­ecule is highly twisted due to its B-nor characteristic. A quantum chemical ab-initio Roothaan Hartree–Fock calculation of the equilibrium geometry of the isolated mol­ecule gives values for bond lengths and valency angles in close agreement with the experimental ones.

Within our interest on the chemistry (Carvalho et al., 2009a, Carvalho et al., 2010a) and biological activity (Carvalho et al., 2009b, Carvalho et al., 2010b) of steroids, we have been exploring the cytotoxic potential of oxysterols and their synthetic analogues against a panel of cancer and normal cell lines. We found that several chemical features are important for cytotoxicity such as the cholestane side-chain, a free or an in vivo easily generated 3β-hydroxyl group and the presence of an additional hydroxyl group at either 6β- or 7β-position. B-Norsteroids comprise a particular class of steroids, which bear a five-membered ring B, instead of the usual six-membered ring. As discussed recently (Uyanik & Hanson, 2009) this structural characteristic affects the outcome of many reactions, and quite often unexpected products are obtained. On the other hand, very few studies address the consequences of a shorter ring B in biological outcome comparatively to the normal six-membered analogs. We have recently found that an α-epoxide in position C5 and C6 of a cholestane affords different cytotoxic results, when ring B bears only five carbons, instead of the usual six-membered ring B of cholesterol. Specifically, the B-nor-α-epoxycholestane displays a higher cytotoxicity (IC50 = 40.9 µM) than the six-membered ring B analogue (IC50 > 65 µM) (Carvalho et al., 2009b). We hypothesized that such biological result must be correlated with the α-orientation of the two epoxycholestane derivates. In this way, the evaluation of the three-dimensional structure of compound (I) by X-ray crystallography will contribute to correlate the importance of the geometry of ring B and the orientation of the epoxy moiety with the biological effect observed. Single crystal diffraction measurements allowed us to conclude that ring bond lengths have normal values (Allen et al.,1987) with average C(sp3)–C(sp3) of 1.530 (3) Å, excluding the shorter C5–C6 bond of 1.458 (3) Å. The cholestane side-chain shows C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond lengths varying from C24–C25 [1.480 (4) Å] up to C17–C20 [1.540 (3) Å]. Rings A and C have slightly flattened chair conformations. The five membered ring B assumes a 9α-envelope conformation [pseudo-rotation (Altona et al., 1968; Duax & Norton, 1975): ΔCs(9)=3.0 (3), ΔCs(7)=24.8 (3); ΔC2(7,9)=15.0 (3); Δ=173.0 (8); ϕ=37.9 (2)°; puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) q2=0.374 (3) Å and ϕ2=285.2 (5)°]. Ring D has a 13β,14α-half chair conformation [ΔC2(13,14)=3.4 (3), ΔCs(14)=20.0 (3); ΔCs(13)=15.8 (3); Δ=5.0 (6); ϕ=47.2 (2)°; q2=0.465 (3) Å and ϕ2=194.9 (4)°]. A pseudo-torsion C19–C10···C13–C18 angle of 12.68 (18)° indicates that, due to the B-nor characteristic, the molecule is highly twisted. Both the 3β-acetate and the 17β-cholestane side-chain are in equatorial positions with angles 66.5 (2) and 65.6 (2)°, respectively. The 5α,6α epoxy plane makes an angle of 83.93 (14)° with the five membered B ring.

In order to gain some insight on how the crystal packing of (I) might affect the molecular geometry we have performed Hartree-Fock quantum chemical calculation using the GAMESS code (Schmidt et al., 1993), of the equilibrium geometry for the free molecule.

These ab-initio calculations reproduce well the observed bond lengths and valency angles of the molecule with the exception of a few C–C bonds in the cholestane ligand that are somewhat larger than the measured values, probably as a result of the larger displacement ellipsoids of these atoms. The calculation also reproduces the observed molecular conformation, with puckering parameters that agree well with those determined from the crystallographic study. The high value of the pseudo-torsion angle is well reproduced by the calculations (obs: 12.68 (18), calc: 13.5°). The calculated configuration of the 3β-acetate and the 17β-cholestane side-chain are also close to those observed in the crystal.

Since there is no strong hydrogen bond donor in the molecule, cohesion of the crystal structure can only be attributed to van der Waals interactions.

Experimental top

Synthesis of (I) was performed as described in the literature (Carvalho et al., 2009a). Epoxidation of 7-norcholest-5-en-3β-yl acetate in acetonitrile at reflux temperature affords the α-epoxide in high yield (around 90%) in 10 minutes. Crystallization was performed at room temperature by slow evaporation from an ethanolic solution. Mp 386–386.5 K (EtOH); lit., (Joska et al., 1963) 384–385 K.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms were refined as riding on their parent atoms using SHELXL97 defaults. Number of Friedel pairs measured: 2848 (85%). Due to the lack of any strong anomalous scatterer atom at the Mo Kα wavelength, refinement of Flack's parameter was inconclusive. However, the absolute configuration of the molecule is known from the synthetic route.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
