Descripción
Sumario:The title steroid, C(34)H(50)O(6)S, is an inter­mediate on the synthetic route between diosgenin and brassinosteroids, which possess the A ring modified with the 2α,3α-diol functionality. The polycyclic spiro­stan system has the expected conformation, with six-membered rings adopting chair forms and the five-membered rings envelope forms (flap atoms are the methine C atom in the C/D-ring junction and the spiro C atom connecting rings E and F). The 3β-tosyl­ate group is oriented in such a way that S=O bonds are engaged in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds with O—H and C—H donors. Chains of mol­ecules are formed along [100] via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and secondary weak C—H⋯O inter­actions connect two neighbouring chains in the [001] direction.
