Abstract

In the title compound, C40H50O6, a symmetrical steroid oxalate diester, the dihedral angle between the CO2 planes of the oxalate linker is 61.5 (5)° and the C-C bond length is 1.513 (6) Å. The steroid B, C and D rings adopt half-chair, chair and envelope conformations, respectively, in both halves of the mol-ecule, which adopts an overall shallow V-shaped conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
