The title compound, C19H26O4, was biotransformed from androstenedione. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link molecules into a corrugated sheet, which lies parallel to the ab plane. Ring A has a slightly distorted half-chair conformation, rings B and C adopt chair conformations, while the cyclopentane ring D adopts a 14α-envelope conformation.

Experimental
Reagents: Colletotrichum lini AS3. 4486 was obtained from Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and maintained on Potato Dextrose Agar at 4°C. Androst-4-en-3,17-dione was obtained from Tianjin Pharmaceutical Company.
Cultures Protocol: Colletotrichum lini AS3. 4486 was cultivated in shake flasks in two consecutive cultivation steps: 72 h for seed culture and 24 h for cell cultivation. Seed medium comprised glucose 30 g/L, corn steep liquor 10 g/L and tap water (pH 7.0). Cell cultivation medium comprised glucose 3 g/L, corn steep liquor 10 g/L, soy meal 10 g/L, NaNO3 2 g/L, KH2PO4, 1 g/L, K2HPO4, 2 g/L, MgSO4.7H2O 0.5g/L, KCl, 0.5g/L, FeSO4.7H2O, 0.02 g/L, (pH 7.0). Cells were grown in 250 ml shake flasks containing 50 ml culture medium on a rotary shaker (200 r/min) at 25°C using 10% (v/v) of the seed culture as inoculum.
Biotransformation: 50 mg of the androst-4-en-3,17-dione dissolved in 1 ml of ethanol was added to the culture after 24 h for growth and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 72 h. The mycelium was then removed by filtration.
Separation and purification: The biomass and the broth were extracted separately with EtOAc. All extracts were combined and dried (anhydr. MgSO4). The solvents after filtration were evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude extracts were purified by Si gel column using dichloromethane/ether/methanol (25:2:1, v/v/v). The white powder was diffused with n-hexane/acetone at room temperature. Colorless prismatic crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained.
In the absence of significant
effects, Freidel pairs were merged. All H atoms of O—H were initially located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with the restraints O—H bond lengths ranging 0.81 (3)–0.88 (3). O—H = 0.81 - 0.99 Å. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with d(C—H) = 0.95 - 1.00Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). The was assumed since the structure of the commercially obtained androst-4-en-3,17-dione used in the preparation was known.Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) is the important intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry (Perez et al., 2006; Kollerov et al. 2008). The production of several high value steroid drugs is mostly derived from key compounds such as AD by chemical synthesis (Ahmad et al., 1992; Malaviya & Gomes, 2008).
The structure of the title compound is depicted in Fig. 1. The 11α,15α-dihydroxy-androstenedione has three six-membered rings (A/B/C) and one five-membered rings (D). Ring A has a slightly distorted half-chair conformation. Rings B and C adopt chair conformations, while the cyclopentane ring D adopts a 14α-envelope conformation. The torsion angle C8—C9—C11—O2 = 162.83 (13), indicates that the 11-hydroxy has an α configuration. The 15-hydroxy has an α configuration with the torsion angle C13—C14—C15—O3 = -160.83 (14)°. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Thamotharan et al., 2004; Vasuki, et al., 2002; Galdecki et al., 1990).
Two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds contribute to the formation of a two-dimensional corrugated sheet lying parallel to the ab-plane, Figure 2. The O3 hydroxyl hydrogen forms a hydrogen bond to hydroxyl atom O2 at (1-x,y,z) by unit translation along the a-axis. Hydroxyl oxygen O2 forms a hydrogen bond to the screw-related carbonyl atom O1 at (1-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z), Table 1.

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. |

Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD) is the important intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry (Perez et al., 2006; Kollerov et al. 2008). The production of several high value steroid drugs is mostly derived from key compounds such as AD by chemical synthesis (Ahmad et al., 1992; Malaviya & Gomes, 2008).
The structure of the title compound is depicted in Fig. 1. The 11α,15α-dihydroxy-androstenedione has three six-membered rings (A/B/C) and one five-membered rings (D). Ring A has a slightly distorted half-chair conformation. Rings B and C adopt chair conformations, while the cyclopentane ring D adopts a 14α-envelope conformation. The torsion angle C8—C9—C11—O2 = 162.83 (13), indicates that the 11-hydroxy has an α configuration. The 15-hydroxy has an α configuration with the torsion angle C13—C14—C15—O3 = -160.83 (14)°. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Thamotharan et al., 2004; Vasuki, et al., 2002; Galdecki et al., 1990).
Two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds contribute to the formation of a two-dimensional corrugated sheet lying parallel to the ab-plane, Figure 2. The O3 hydroxyl hydrogen forms a hydrogen bond to hydroxyl atom O2 at (1-x,y,z) by unit translation along the a-axis. Hydroxyl oxygen O2 forms a hydrogen bond to the screw-related carbonyl atom O1 at (1-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z), Table 1.
