Eplerenone is an aldosterone receptor antagonist. Single crystals of the title compound [systematic name: 9α,11-epoxy-7α-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone dioxane solvate], C

2, were obtained from a dioxane solution. Within the eplerenone molecule, both five-membered rings display an envelope conformation. The three six-membered rings exhibit different conformations: chair, half-chair and envelope. In the crystal structure, adjacent eplerenone molecules are linked together
via weak intermolecular C—H

O hydrogen bonding, forming a cavity of about 310 Å
3, and the dioxane solvent molecules occupy the cavity. The solvent molecule is disordered equally over two positions.

The eplerenone dichloromethane was prepared according to the procedure reported
by Grob et al. (1997). The dichloromethane solvent was removed by
heating at 363 K to get a powder crystalline sample. Single crystals of the
title compound were crystallized from a dioxane solution of eplerenone at room
temperature.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 to 0.98 Å and
refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl
groups and 1.2Ueq(C) for others. The solvent dioxane molecule is
disordered in the crystal structure. Two sites model was used in the
refinement with each component 0.5 occupancy factor. The C—C and C—O
distances of disordered dioxane molecule were restrained to 1.54±0.01 and
1.40±0.01 Å, respectively. The thermal parameters for oxygen atoms of
dioxane were constrained to be the same, so do for the carbon atoms of
dioxane. In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, Friedel
pairs were merged; the absolute configuration was not determined.

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 eplerenone is known as an aldosterone receptor antagonist and can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount where use of an aldosterone receptor antagonist (Grob & Kalvoda, 1985). The crystal structure of the eplerenone with dioxane solvent is reported here.
The crystal of the title compound consists of eplerenone molecules and lattice dioxane moleuces as shown in Fig. 1. The molecule of eplerenone contains three fused six-membered rings, two five-membered rings and one three-membered ring. Both five-membered rings display the envelope configuration, similar to that found in the structure of eplerenone tetrahydrofuran solvate (Yang et al., 2007). The O5-carbonyl group of the C23-ester group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the adjacent C14-methine group (Fig. 1 and Table 1). This structural features is identical with that found in the crystal structure of eplerenone dichloromethane solvate (Grob et al., 1997).
In the crystal the adjacent eplerenone molecules are linked together via weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 1), forming the 310 Å3 cavity (Spek, 2003), where the disordered dioxane solvent molecules occupied (Fig. 2).
