X-ray diffraction studies on the absolute configuration of alpha- and beta-anordrins.

The molecular structures and absolute configurations of alpha- and beta-anordrins are reported. Pure alpha- and beta-epimers were obtained with recrystallization and column chromatography combined with high-pressure liquid chromatography methods; they were identified by high-resolution infrared and mass spectra and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. By single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis, the crystals of alpha- and beta-epimers were found to belong to the orthorhombic space groups P2(1)2(1)2(1) and P2(1)2(1)2, respectively. The molecular structures of these two epimers were determined. The absolute configurations were deduced by conformation analysis, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and comparison with the absolute configuration of the starting material. The absolute configurations of asymmetric centers of alpha- and beta-epimers were observed to be 2R, 5S, 8R, 9S, 10S, 13S, 14S, 17R, and 2S, 5S, 8R, 9S, 10S, 13S, 14S, 17R, respectively. These results were confirmed by the x-ray diffraction determination of the absolute configuration of 2 alpha,17 alpha-diethynyl-A-nor-5 alpha- androstane-2 beta, 17 beta-diol dichloroacetate.
