Popis: Structure determination of the title compound, 5β,10-β-epoxy-3,3-ethylenedioxy-17β-hydroxy-17α-(1-propynyl)estra-9(11)-ene, C 23 H 30 O 4 , establishes the configuration of the epoxy O atom as 5β,10β and locates the position of the double bond between C(9) and C(11). The strain caused by the presence of an epoxy O atom between C(5) and C(10) in the molecule is reflected in the distortion of bond angles around several tetrahedral C atoms. The propynyl group is oriented perpendicular to the steroid skeleton. The molecules are hydrogen-bonded head-to-tail through hydroxyl groups
