Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of 11α-dimethylamino-2β-ethoxy-3α-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (Dethoxyprone, formII) (C25H43NO3) has been determined by direct methods, and refined to a finalR of 0.067 for 4508 observed reflections. The compound crystallizes in space groupP212121 with cell dimensionsa=10.830 (2),b=12.703 (2),c=17.490 (1) Å;Z=4,D x =1.12 g cm−3,μ (CuK α)=5.28 cm−1. The rings of the steroid skeleton are trans connected. Rings A, B, and C have chair conformations, while ring D has a half-chair conformation. The molecules are hydrogen bonded in a head to tail fashion through the hydroxy and keto groups.
