C27H37O4Cl is orthorhombic, P212121. The unit-cell dimensions at 293 K are a = 7.1388(15), b = 12.9836(14), c = 26.665(10)Å, V = 2471.5(10)Å3, Dx = 1.239 g/cm3, and Z = 4. The R value is 0.070 for 1458 observed reflections. The A, B, C and D rings occur in distorted envelope, distorted half-chair, chair, and envelope and a half-chair conformations. The molecules in the crystal are packed at the normal van der Waals distances.
