As shown by X-ray crystallography, crystals of 3β-acetoxy-16,17-seco-17,20-dioxopregn-5-ene-16-nitrile are dimorphic. The regioselectivity of the Norrish-Yang type II photocyclization under visible light of this steroidal 1,2-diketone, which bears primary, secondary, and tertiary nonequivalent abstractable γ-hydrogens, dramatically increases in the crystalline state of both polymorphs. X-ray crystallography and molecular mechanics calculations reveal crystal structure-solid state photochemistry relationships.
X 射线晶体学表明,3β-乙酰氧基-16,17-断孕-17,20-二氧代-5-烯-16-腈的晶体为二态。这种甾体 1,2-二酮带有伯、仲和叔不等价的可提取 γ-氢,在两种多晶型物的晶态下,Norrish-Yang 型 II 光环化的区域选择性在可见光下显著增加。X 射线晶体学和分子力学计算揭示了晶体结构-固态光化学关系。
