(2001). Acta Cryst. C57, 638¨C640], which crystallizes in the same trigonal space group. The title molecule consists of four fused rings having chair, half-chair, half-chair and envelope conformations for rings A, B, C and D, respectively (steroid labelling). An intramolecular C¡ªH...O hydrogen bond generates an S(7) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O¡ªH...O and C¡ªH...O interactions, forming (001) sheets. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811008956
