Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of 6β-acetoxyprogesterone, C23H32O4, has been determined. This compound crystallizes in space groupP212121 witha=13.195(3),b=15.035(4),c=10.705(3) Å,V=2139.8(9) Å3,M r=372.5,Z=4,D x=1.156g cm−3; MoKα radiation (λ=0.7107 Å),μ=0.72 cm−1,F(000)=808;R=0.069, andR w=0.052 for 1292 reflections. RingA adopts a normal 1α,2β-half-chair conformation. The side chain is typical for a 20-ketosteroid conformation.
