The title compound, C(21)H(33)BrO(3), an inter-mediate in the synthesis of the neuromuscular blocking agent rocuronium bromide, contains two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, which have almost identical geometries: in both mol-ecules, the steroidal rings A, B and C have slightly flattened chair conformations and ring D assumes a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br inter-actions help to establish the packing. ...[more]
