4, (II), respectively, which are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of important steroid derivatives, rings
A and
B are
cis-(5
,10
)-fused. The two molecules have similar conformations of rings
A,
B and
C. The presence of the 5
,6
-epoxide group induces a significant twist of the steroid nucleus and a strong flattening of the
B ring. The different C17 substituents result in different conformations for ring
D. Cohesion of the molecular packing is achieved in both compounds only by weak intermolecular interactions. The geometries of the molecules in the crystalline environment are compared with those of the free molecules as given by
ab initio Roothan Hartree-Fock calculations. We show in this work that quantum mechanical
ab initio methods reproduce well the details of the conformation of these molecules, including a large twist of the steroid nucleus. The calculated twist values are comparable, but are larger than the observed values, indicating a possible small effect of the crystal packing on the twist angles.

The synthesis of both epoxysteroids (I) and (II) was efficiently accomplished
by epoxidation with KMnO4/Fe2(SO4)3.nH2O (Salvador et
al., 1996). Recrystallization from methanol at room temperature
gave
colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. Analytical data for
compounds (I) and (II) are in accordance with the literature (Salvador et
al., 1996).
All H atoms were refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H =
0.96–0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), or
1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H. [Please check added text] The absolute
configuration was not determined from the X-ray data but was known from the
synthetic route. Friedel pairs were merged before refinement.
For both compounds, data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2003); cell refinement: SAINT (Bruker, 2003); data reduction: SAINT (Bruker, 2003); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: PLATON (Spek, 2003); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008).

Special details top
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. |

Special details top
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. |

The 5β,6β-epoxide functionality (Salvador et al., 2006) is present in several naturally occurring steroids, in which withanolides are a representative example. These compounds have been studied for anti-inflammatory (Jayaprakasam & Nair, 2003), antitumour (Kuroyanagi et al., 1999), cytotoxic (Veras et al., 2004) and immunomodulatory (Leyon & Kuttan, 2004) activities, as well as for cancer chemoprevention by inducing phase-II enzymes (Misico et al., 2002). Cytotoxic activity against several cell lines has been reported for other naturally occurring 5β,6β-epoxysteroids (Watanabe et al., 1996; Anta et al., 2002). 5β,6β-Epoxysteroids are also valuable intermediates for the synthesis of important compounds, such as brassinosteroid derivatives (Ramírez et al., 2000), laxogenin (Iglesias-Arteaga et al., 2005) and an analogue of squalamine (Cai & Zhou, 2004). In fact, the stereochemistry of these compounds rules their ring opening by nucleophilic agents, which leads to 5α-substituted-6β-hydroxysteroids (Pinto et al., 2006; Pinto, Salvador & Le Roux, 2007; Leitão et al., 2008). Recently, we reported the molecular structure of 5α-acetamido-6β-hydroxy-17-oxoandrostan-3β-yl acetate (Pinto, Ramos Silva et al., 2007) obtained from the reaction of the title compound, (I), with acetonitrile catalysed by BiBr3 (Pinto et al., 2006). The title compounds, (I) and (II), were also used as substrates for the synthesis of new olefinic 18-nor and 18,19-dinorsteroids (Pinto et al., 2008). Thus, attending to the biological and synthetic importance of such molecules, we report here the molecular structures of the title 5β,6β-epoxysteroids, (I) and (II), determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and compare them with those of the free molecules as given by quantum mechanical ab initio calculations.
The structures of compounds (I) and (II), with the corresponding atomic numbering schemes, are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. These two 5β,6β-epoxides are from different steroid series, (I) from androstane with a C17?O carbonyl group at ring D, and (II) from the pregnane series with a methyl ketone group at the side chain. In both molecules, the 3β-acetoxy group is equatorial to ring A, as is the 17β-COCH3 group to ring D of (II).
Rings A and B are cis-(5β,10β)-fused [C1—C10—C5—C4 = -39,6(2)° in (I) and -37.9 (2)° in (II), and C9—C10—C5—C6 = 4.5 (2)° in (I) and 6.2 (3)° in (II)], with a bowing angle between the least-squares planes of rings A and B of 35.43 (9)° and 34.23 (9)° for (I) and (II), respectively.
The pseudo-torsion angle C19—C10···C13—C18 deviates largely from zero in both compounds [18.97 (17)° in (I) and 15.74 (17)° in (II)], showing that the steroid nucleus is significantly twisted. Comparably large pseudo-torsion angles have been observed in other 5β,6β-epoxysteroids (Hanson et al., 2003). This feature appears to be related to the presence of the 5β,6β-epoxide group, as it is absent in other cis-(5β,10β)-fused steroids without this functional group (Andrade et al., 2003; Andrade, Paixão, de Almeida, Tavares da Silva & Fernandes Roleira, 2005).
Average values for the atomic distances are in good agreement with reported ones (Allen et al., 1987), although for the Csp3—Csp3 bond lengths extreme values were found for C5—C6 [1.472 (3) Å in (I) and 1.464 (3) Å in (II)] and C9—C10 [1.567 (3) Å in (I) and 1.566 (2) Å in (II)], deviating significantly from the average values of 1.526 (3) and 1.528 (3) Å for compounds (I) and (II), respectively. Short C2—C3 bonds, common to other related steroids (Andrade, Paixão, de Almeida, Fernandes Roleira & Tavares da Silva, 2005), were also found [1.495 (3) Å in (I) and 1.499 (3) Å in (II)].
In both compounds, rings A and C have slightly flattened conformations intermediate between chair and half-chair, with average torsion angles of 51 (4) and 55 (2)°, respectively, for (I), and 52 (4) and 55 (2)°, respectively, for (II). Ring B of both 5β,6β-epoxysteroids adopts a strongly flattened conformation intermediate between half-chair and envelope, with Cremer & Pople (1975) parameters of Q = 0.5010 (19) Å, θ = 53.1 (2)° and ϕ = 190.7 (3)° for (I), and Q = 0.501 (2) Å, θ = 52.1 (2)° and ϕ = 193.1 (3)° for (II). In fact, as a consequence of the presence of the 5β,6β-epoxide group, atoms C7, C6, C5 and C10 are almost coplanar, as shown by the C7—C6—C5—C10 torsion angle of 1.2 (3)° in (I) and 0.5 (3)° in (II), which results in very low average torsion angles of 34 (10) and 38 (10)° for (I) and (II), respectively.
Ring D of (I) features a C14-envelope conformation, as shown by the Cremer & Pople parameters [q2 = 0.424 (2) Å and ϕ2 = 212.2 (3)°] and asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983) [ΔCs(14) = ΔCs(16,17) = 3.4 (2)°]. In molecule (II), the five-membered ring D has a twisted conformation around the C13—C14 bond [q2 = 0.463 (2) Å, ϕ2 = 192.4 (3)° and ΔC2(16) = Δ2(13,14) = 6.6 (2)°].
Owing to the absence of any strong hydrogen donor, cohesion of the crystal structures of both compounds is mainly achieved by van der Waals and weak C—H···O interactions. In both structures, one weak C—H···O interaction between ring A and epoxide atom O5 links molecules along the a axis. In compound (II), another short contact is found between carbonyl atom O20 and an H atom of a neighbouring C21 methyl group. In addition, an intramolecular C—H···O interaction is present between the same carbonyl atom O20 and an H atom of ring D.
In order to gain some insight into how the crystal packing of (I) and (II) might affect the molecular geometry, and to check whether the large twist of the steroid nucleus is present in the isolated molecules, we have performed a quantum chemical calculation of the equilibrium geometry of the free molecules. These calculations were performed with the computer program GAMESS (Schmidt et al., 1993). A molecular orbital Roothan Hartree–Fock method was used with an extended 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Tight conditions for convergence of both the self-consistent field cycles and the maximum density and energy gradients were imposed (10-5 atomic units). The programs were run on the Milipeia cluster of UC-LCA (16 Opteron cores, 2.2 GHz) running Linux.
Overall, there is very good agreement between the calculated and observed bond lengths, with the exception of the Csp3—O bond lengths of the epoxide group, where the calculated values were systematically shorter than the observed ones: for (I), O5—C5 calculated = 1.414 Å and experimental = 1.456 (2) Å, O5—C6 calculated = 1.407 Å and experimental = 1.435 (3) Å; for (II), O5—C5 calculated = 1.413 Å and experimental = 1.454 (2) Å, O5—C6 calculated = 1.407 Å and experimental = 1.429 (3) Å.
The calculated pseudo-torsion angles C19—C10···C13—C18 were significantly higher than the observed values for both compounds [calculated 22.7° and experimental 18.97 (17)° for (I), and calculated 22.2° and experimental 15.74 (17)° for (II)], showing that the crystal packing somehow affects the steroid nucleus. Interestingly, the calculations reproduce the short C5—C6 bond [calculated 1.459 Å and experimental 1.472 (3) Å for (I), and calculated 1.459 Å and experimental 1.464 (3) Å for (II)] and the long C9—C10 bond [calculated 1.574 Å and experimental 1.567 (3) Å for (I), and calculated 1.574 Å and experimental 1.566 (2) Å for (II)]. In both molecules, a shorter calculated value for the C3—O3A bond binding the 3β-acetoxy substituent to ring A is found [calculated 1.428 Å and experimental 1.462 (2) Å for (I), and calculated 1.429 Å and [experimental?] 1.464 (3) Å for (II)].
