6-Methylideneandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione

In the title compound, C20H26O2, which is the 6-methylene derivative of androstenedione and a synthetic percursor of exemestane, the steroid A ring approximates to a sofa (or envelope) conformation, with the methylene group adjacent to the link to the B ring lying out of the plane of the other atoms...
