A mixture of a dehydroepiandrosterone (0.5 g), sodium hydroxide (0.75 g) and 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (0.75 g) in methanol (10 ml) was stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was added to ice cold water. The precipitate was filtered, washed thorougly with water and crystallized from methanol to afford crystals of (I); yield: 0.23 g (43%) and m.p. 565–571 K. Analysis: UVmax(MeOH): 296.2 nm (logε = 4.35); IRmax: 2980, 2210. 1720, 1640 and 900 cm−1. 1H NMR: 0.99 (s, 3H, 18-CH3), 1.08 (s, 3H, 19-CH3), 3.50 (m, 1H, 3-H), 5.40 (d, 1H, 6-CH), 3.9 (s) and 7.4 (s) [0.29:1 area ratio, 1H, vinyl-H of 16-(4-cyanobenzylidene)], 7.60 (d, 2H, Jo = 8.4, 2-CH and 6-CH aromatic proton), 7.70 (d, 2H, Jo = 8.2, 3-CH and 5-CH aromatic proton); calculated for C27H31NO2: C 80.8, H 7.8, N,3.5%; found: C 80.8, H 7.8, N 3.6%.
The methyl H atoms were constrained to an ideal geometry (C—H = 0.96 Å), with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), but were allowed to rotate freely about the C—C bonds. All remaining H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), except for the hydroxyl H atom, which was located in a difference Fourier map and refined using the DFIX option in SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997), with H31—O31 = 0.81 (2) Å. It was included in the structure-factor calculations with Uiso(H31) = 1.2Ueq(O31). The Friedel pairs were merged before the final refinement and the absolute configuration was assigned to correspond with that of the known chiral centres in a precursor molecule which remained unchanged during the synthesis of the title compound.

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 present study of the title compound, (I), is the 11t h in our series of X-ray crystal-structure analyses of androstene and its derivatives (Thamotharan et al., 2002, and references therein). The conformation of steroids having flexible unsaturated ring and/or substituents is of particular interest. We are particularly interested in studying the conformational flexibilities of the steroids resulting from various substitutions at the C3, C16 and C17 positions. The crystals of (I) are enantiomerically pure. However, due to the absence of significant anomalous scatterers in the compound, the absolute configuration of the molecule has not been determined by the X-ray diffraction experiment. The enantiomer used in the refinement was assigned to correspond to that of the known chiral centre in a precursor molecule, namely dehydroepiandrosterone (Weeks et al., 1971), which remained unchanged during the synthesis of (I).
Among the few conformational options, both methyl groups of the steroidal nucleus adopt the expected staggered arrangements. The geometry of the rings is trans at the B/C and C/D ring junctions (see Scheme and Fig. 1).
The C5—C6 distance of 1.318 (6) Å is comparable with that of the related structure (Bhacca et al., 1996) and confirms the localization of the double bond at this position. Rings A and C are slightly flattened, the mean values of their torsion angles being 52.5 (2) and 55.2 (2)°, respectively. Both ring conformations are close to that of a chair as shown by the values of Cremer & Pople (1975) puckering parameters [ring A: Q = 0.538 (5) Å, θ = 9.3 (5)°, ϕ = 81 (3)° for the atom sequence C1—C2—C3—C4—C5—C10; ring C: Q = 0.565 (5) Å, θ = 5.8 (5)°,ϕ = 266 (6)° for the atom sequence C8—C9—C11—C12—C13—C14]. Thus, the presence of the hydroxyl group bonded to C3 has not disturbed the usual chair conformation of ring A of the steroidal nucleus. The C3—O31 bond is oriented equatorially and (+)antiperiplanar to the C3—C4 bond. The dihedral angle between the planes of the cyanobenzylidene group and the steroidal nucleus is 22.61 (15)°.
Due to the C5═C6 double bond, the environment of atom C5 is planar, and hence ring B adopts the 8β,9α-half-chair conformation generally found in steroids with a C5═C6 double bond (Thamotharan et al., 2002, and references therein), with puckering parameters Q = 0.464 (2) Å, θ = 49.8 (6)° and ϕ =217.9 (7)° for the atom sequence C5—C6—C7—C8—C9—C10. The five-membered ring D exhibits a 13β,14α-half-chair conformation when compared to the unsubstituted dehydroxy steroid nucleus in which ring D is in a 14α-envelope conformation. It seems that a bulky sustitution of cyanobenzylidene moiety caused conformational change observed in ring D in (I) ϕm = 42.9 (3)° for the atoms sequence C13—C14—C15—C16—C17 (Altona et al., 1968).
The C17—C16—C20—C21 torsion angle of 171.1 (4)° indicates that the cyanobenzylidene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the carbonyl group at position C17 as has been observed in our previous compound (Thamotharan et al., 2002)·The C15—C16—C20 exocyclic angle of 133.0 (4)° is significantly larger than the normal value of 120° and this may be due to the steric repulsion between atoms H15B and H22 (2.41 Å). In (I), the skeletal bond angles are close to the expected values (Duax et al., 1976).
In the crystal, the steroid nucleus forms head to tail chains of O—H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the O—H group and the N atom of cyanobenzylidene moiety of a symmetry-related molecule. This interaction links the steroid molecules into chains which run parellel to the [110] direction. These hydrogen bonds form a C(18) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995).
