Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of 4, 17a-methyl-4, 17a-diaza-5α-androstane (HS353), C20N2H36 has been determined by direct methods and successive electron density calculations. The crystals are triclinic,a=7.419(2),b=20.300(4),c=12.866(2)Å,α=105.91(2),β=76.33(2),γ=99.32(2)°, space groupP1,Z=4. Block-matrix least-squares refinement converged toR=0.0660 for 3243 reflections withI≧3σI (CuKα radiation). The four independent molecules show only minor conformational variations, all rings being trans-connected chairs. Introduction of N at positions 4 and 17a of ringsA andD creates asymmetry in both conformation and bond angles, producing outward bending of the C-N side groups at both ends of all four molecules.
