In the title compound, C25H36O6, the two central cyclohexane rings exhibit a chair conformation. The terminal cyclohexene and cyclopentane rings are in half-chair and envelope conformations (with the C atom bearing the methyl substituent as the flap), respectively. The methyl group of the butyrate chain is disordered over two orientations, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.742 (6):0.258 (6). Intramolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to the a axis.

The title compound was obtained following a patent report (Sun et al., 2009). At 0-5°C, butyryl chloride (1.5 mmol, 0.16 mL) was added dropwise to a CH2Cl2 (10 mL) solution containing hydrocortisone 21-acetate (1 mmol, 0.4 g), Et3N (4 mL) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.05 mmol, 6 mg). The mixture was then stirred at 0°C for 3 hours before being treated with HCl to reach a pH of 2. The mixture was then washed with H2O to reach neutrality, and extracted using CH2Cl2. The organic phase was combined, dried, and evaporated. Crystallization of the residue in MeOH produced hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 21-acetate. The CH2Cl2 solution of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 21-acetate was added slowly to a MeOH (10 mL) solution of K2CO3 (0.1 g) at -10°C for selective hydrolysis. The mixture was then neutralized by CH3COOH, washed with H2O, and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was combined, dried and evaporated. Crystallization of the residue in MeOH at 0°C produced pure hydrocortisone 17-butyrate. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a MeOH (20 mL) solution of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate (5 mg) at room temperature.
The C25 methyl carbon atom is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancy ratio 0.742 (6):0.258 (6). The disordered atoms were refined by constraining the C24–C25 and C24–C25A bond lengths to be 1.52 (1) Å and by restraining the anisotropic displacement ellipsoids to be equal. The hydroxyl H atom bound to O4 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely. All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl and hydroxyl H atoms. A rotating model was applied to the methyl and hydroxyl groups. One outlier (0 1 1) was omitted in the last cycles of refinement.

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. |

Hydrocortisone 17-butyrate is an important cortical hormone drug derived from the esterification reaction of hydrocortisone at the hydroxyl group of C-17. Due to the introduction of the alkyl chain, hydrocortisone 17-butyrate showed increased lipophicity and affinity for receptors, which lead to increased pharmacological activity (Haapasaari et al., 1995; Lerche et al., 2010; D'Erme & Gola, 2012). Compared with hydrocortisone, it showed increased anti-inflammatory activity, immunosuppressive properties, and low side effect. Due to the outstanding characteristics of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate, it has drawn great attention of the experts from the fields of chemistry, pharmacy and medicine. The synthesis and properties have been investigated quite extensively, while its molecular structure has not been reported. Here we present the single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Figure 1. As expected, the chiral carbon atoms C8, C9, C11, C13, and C14 exhibit S configuration, and atoms C10 and C17 exhibit R configuration. The Flack parameter is 0.02 (18). Both central six membered rings (C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, and C8, C9, C11, C12, C13, C14) exhibit chair conformation, with atoms C5 and C8 displaced by 0.6024 (16) and 0.6378 (15) Å on opposite sides from the C6, C7, C9 and C10 plane, and atoms C9 and C13 by 0.6249 (14) and 0.7014 (15) Å from the C8, C11, C12 and C14 plane. The cyclohexene ring (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C10) assumes a half-chair conformation, atom C2 protruding by 0.534 (2) Å from the mean plane through the remaining five atoms. The cyclopentane ring is in an envelope conformation, with atom C13 displaced by 0.6761 (15) Å from the C14, C15, C16, C17 mean plane. Intramolecular O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1). In the crystal, molecules are connected by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds to form chains parallel to the a axis.
