The crystal structure of a proposed fusidic acid intermediate

Abstract

The structure of a proposed intermediate in the synthesis of the abnormal steroid fusidic acid was determined by means of X-ray analysis. The compound, C_(23)H_(27)O_3Br, forms triclinic crystals, space group P1[bar], with cell dimensions a = 8.681, b = 7.361, c = 16.077 Å, α = 90.85, β = 99.44, γ = 84.97°; there are two molecules in the cell. The structure was refined to an R index of 6.3% for 1979 non-zero reflections measured on a diffractometer. The results of the analysis revealed that the proposed intermediate has a structure incompatible for conversion to the desired steroid.
