%X The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C27H46, contains two crytallographically independent cholest-5-ene molecules (A and B). In each molecule, the three six-membered rings are all in chair conformations, while the five-membered ring is in a twist conformation. The terminal isopropyl group of molecule A has a ( )-gauche conformation, whereas that of molecule B has a (+)-gauche conformation. No significant intermolecular interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
