Introduction
‘The crystal structure analysis of the cholesteryl aniline
hhas been undertaken as one ofa series of X-ray crystal struc-
ture determinations of cholesterol derivatives. Examination
of the unit cell parameters ofthe cholesterol derivatives sug-
‘gests that the majority of derivatives may have one of three
‘common crystal packing arrangements, s0 called monolayers
of type I and type I, and bilayers type.’ However, the crystal
data of cholesteryl aniline we obtained indicate that the
cholesteryl aniline belongs to none of three crystal structure
types. Therefore the primary aim in this study is to obtain
structural informations concerning the conformation and the
‘mode of the molecular interactions
Experimental
Cholestery1. aniline. from Sigma Chemical Company
Ltd. was recrystallized by slow evaporation of a mixture of
acetone, ethanol and ether solution at 5°C. The resulting
‘monoclinic, colorless, plate-like single crystals melted at
919°C.
Preliminary X-ray Weissenberg photographies showed
that the crystal system is monoclinic with space group P2,
Subsequent X-ray data were collected using a Nonius CAD-
4 diffractometer with Mo-K. graphite-monochromated ra
diation (A= 0.7107 A), And the accurate crystal lattice para
meters were obtained by a least-squares fit of 23 reflections

Structure Determination and Refinement
The phase problem was solved by direct method using the
program SHELXS-86.! The direct method were applied to
589 reflections with ||>1.3. All the carbon and nitrogen
atoms were located on the E map. The refinement was car
ried out with full-matrix least-square method, using the pro
gram SHELX-76 * Four cycles of isotropic full-matrix least
squares refinements decreased I value to U.I4. And then
anisotropic thermal parameters were introduced forthe car
bon and nitrogen atoms. After four cycles of anisotropic re
finement, K reduced to 0.11, At this stage the i hydrogen
atoms were found on the difference Fourier map and remain-
