Rp. Litvinovskaya et al., X-RAY STRUCTURE OF (20R,22S,5'S)-22(3'-ME XY-3-ALPHA,5-CYCLO-23-NOR-5-ALPHA-CHOLESTANE-22-OL, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 23(2), 1997, pp. 147-151
Molecular and crystal structure of the major epimer obtained in the 1,
3-bipolar cycloadditon of acetonitrile oxide to (22R)-22-hydroxy-23-en
e steroids was determined by X-ray analysis. The monoclinic crystals o
btained belong to a P2(1) space group with a = 12.476(4), b = 6.408(1)
, and c = 14.922(4) Angstrom; beta = 96.77(2)degrees. (20R,22S,23S)-Co
nfiguration of the side chain and the presence of several intra- and i
ntermolecular hydrogen bonds were shown.
