Abstract:
The title compound, C27H43ClO6, is a derivative of urso-deoxy-cholic acid, in which the OH group at the 3-position is substituted by a chloro-meth-oxy-carbon-yloxy substituent and the carb-oxy-lic acid group at the 24-position is methyl-ated. The A and B rings are cis-fused, while all other rings are trans-fused. In the crystal, two adjacent mol-ecules located along the b-axis direction are inter-locked head-to-tail due to weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Therefore each mol-ecule is linked to four neighbouring mol-ecules by four C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with the OH group at the 7-position and the carbonyl O atom of the ester group acting as the acceptor sites.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
