Abstract

Methyl 3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate 2, methyl 11 alpha-bromo-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate 3, methyl 11 beta-bromo-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate 4 and methyl 11,11-dibromo-3 alpha,7 alpha-diacetoxy-12-oxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oate 5 were synthesized. The crystal structures of these molecules were resolved to study the effect of bulky bromine atom in the steroid skeleton of cholic acid with different stereo-chemical orientations at C-11 on the two-dimensional arrangement of molecules and solid-state properties. All the molecules associate only via weak intermolecular interactions in their crystal structures, notable one being the Halogen Bonded assembly (C-Br center dot center dot center dot O) in 5.
