Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of 3β-(p-bromobenzoyloxy)-5β-cholesta-8,14-dien (space group P2₁, a = 10.698 A ̊, b = 9.487 A ̊, c = 15.024 A ̊, β = 96.05°, Z = 2) was determined by the heavy atom method and refined to R = 0.075. This heavy atom derivative was synthesized from 5β-cholesta-8,14-diene-3β-ol, the benzoate ester of which was previously shown to be the major byproduct in the low-temperature isomerization of 7-dehydrocholesteryl benzoate in HCl/chloroform. The work presented here establishes unequivocally that the configuration of this isomerization byproduct at C-5 is 5β-H and that the configuration at C-17 was unchanged.
