Methyl 3-[(chloro-meth-oxy)carbon-yloxy]-7-hy-droxy-cholan-24-oate.

The title compound, C27H43ClO6, is a derivative of urso­deoxy­cholic acid, in which the OH group at the 3-position is substituted by a chloro­meth­oxy­carbon­yloxy substituent and the carb­oxy­lic acid group at the 24-position is methyl­ated. The A and B rings are cis-fused, while all other rings are trans-fused. In the crystal, two adjacent mol­ecules located along the b-axis direction are inter­locked head-to-tail due to weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Therefore each mol­ecule is linked to four neighbouring mol­ecules 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.
