In the title compound, C21H30N2O, there are five fused rings. The A and C rings adopt chair conformations, ring B adopts an 8β,9α-half-chair conformation and ring D adopts a 14α-envelope conformation. The pyrazole ring is planar. Intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 1.88 (5) Å] help to stabilize the The was deduced from those of the starting materials.

3β-Hydroxy-16-hydroxymethylene-androst-5-en-17-one (500 mg, 1.58 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml EtOH, and methylhydrazine (120 mg, 2.61 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature, and 100 ml H2O was added. After filtered, washed with water and dried, crude product of title compound (520 mg) was got. The crude product was purified by with petroleum ether/ EtOAc (10:3) as and recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran to obtain its single-crystal for X-ray diffraction analysis.
All H atoms except H1 were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93Å for aromatic H atoms and C–H = 0.96Å for methyl H atoms, and refine in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. H1 had been found on the different Fourier map and refined without bond restrain. In the absence of significant
845 Friedel pairs were merged and all Δf" values to be set to zero.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2000); cell

Experimental. Compound contains disordered unassigned solvent (tetrahydrofuran), which was SQEEZED with program PLATON (Spek, 2003). Solvent is not contained in chemical formula and quantities derived thereof. Informations on the SQUEEZE procedure are given subsequently. |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

The 3-O-(2',2'-dimethylsuccinyl)-betulinic acid, a derivative of natural product betulinic acid, was identified as a potent anti-HIV (human immunodificiency virus) agent with remarkable active value (Kashiwada et al., 1996). Based on the structure and bioactivity of 3-O-(2',2'-dimethylsuccinyl)-betulinic acid, we tried to synthesize some of its steroidal analogs with a heterocycle fused E ring. During synthesizing a target compound 3β-O-(2'',2''-dimethylsuccinyl)-4,4-dimethyl-androst-[17,16- c]-(2'-methyl)pyrazole, an important intermediate, 3β-hydroxy-androst-5-en-[17,16-c]-(2'-methyl)pyrazole, was obtained and its molecular structure was reported here.
Fig.1 shows the molecular structure of the title compound. This compound is a five-ring-fused compound. Ring A and ring C adopt chair conformations in each molecule. The C5–C6 distance of 1.340 (5) Å conform the localization of a double bond at this position. As a result of this double bond, the geometry around C5 is planar and hence ring B adopt 8β,9α-half-chair conformation. The ring D assumes 14α-envelope conformation. The pyrazole E ring is essentially planar. Intermolecular O1–H1···N2i hydrogen bond with parameters O1–H1 = 0.96 (5)Å, H1···N2i = 1.88 (6)Å, O1···N2i = 2.813 (5)Å and angle O1–H1···N2i = 163 (5)° (symmetry code: (i) -x+3/2, y+1/2, -z) help to stablize the crystal structure.
