The electronic structure of 5α‐androstane, the parent hydrocarbon of the hormonal steroids, has been computed by ab initio SCF methods in an STO ‐3 G basis. The results are compared with existing MNDO computations and are used to discuss long‐range electronic interactions between distant substituents that might be appended to rings A and D of 5α‐androstane. It is thought that these interactions are mediated by the ribbonlike MO ' S of the parent molecule.
