The title compound, C17H16O5, an (E)-1-(4,6-dihydroxy-2,3-dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)-3-phenyl­prop-2-en-1-one, was isolated from a plant of genus Cryptocarya costata. The mol­ecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the positions of the benzene ring and the dihydroxy­dimethoxy­benzaldehyde fragment about the olefinic C=C double bond. The mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds to form ribbons extending parallel to the b axis.

Comment top

A number of chalcones containing hydroxyl groups at C(2'), C(2',4') or C(2',4) have been known to be potential as therapeutic agents against infections with methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (Alcaraz et al., 2000). Therefore, some chalcone derivatives have been successfully synthesized including 2',4'-dihydroxy-5',6'-dimethoxychalcone (I) (Bhaskar & Seshadri, 1974). However, only a few structures of naturally occurring chalcones isolated from plants have been reported. Some examples are 2',6'-dihydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxychalcone (II) from the plant Pityrogramma chrysophylla (Nilsson, 1961; Schmalle et al., 1990), Flemiculosin (III) from the leaves of Flemingia fruticolose (Bhattacharyya et al., 1999) and (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-3-(4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-one (IV) (Krishna et al., 2005). In the course of our study on the secondary metabolites from Cryptocarya sp. growing in Indonesia, suitable crystals of (I) for X-ray investigation were obtained.

As in most substituted chalcones, the molecule of the title compound (I) is not planar. The substituted benzene ring (C1'-C6')/O2/O3/O4/O5 is essentially planar with maximum deviation of 0.054 (2) Å for atom O2 from the least square plane. It is inclined by 28.22 (10)° to the propenylbenzene fragment [C1–C9] (maximum deviation 0.022 (2) Å at atom C8). The O–Me bonds, O2–C10 and O3–C11, are perpendicular to the benzene C1'–C6' plane with torsion angles C10–O2–C6'–C5' and C11–O3–C5'–C6' of 88.5 (3) and 65.93 (3)°, respectively. The carbonyl group, C9O1, is in a cis configuration with respect to the olefenic C7C8 double bond, a typical chalcone compound.

The bond lengths and angles of the molecule are in normal ranges (Table 1) and in agreement with all the analogues with slight variation on the CO bond length. The C9O1 bond length is slightly shorter than that in (II) and (IV) [1.264 (3) and 1.2538 (17) Å, respectively]. The presence of five intramolecular hydrogen bonds viz. O4–H4B···O3, O5–H5B···O1, C7–H7A···O1, C8–H8A···O2 and C11–H11C···O2 (Table 2) may contribute to the stability and planarity of the molecule. In the structure, the molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds (symmetry codes as given in Table 2) forming ribbons extended parallel to b axis (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

Barks from the tree Cryptocarya costata Bl. were collected from The National Garden of Leralindu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The voucher specimen (E-377L) was deposited at the herbarium of Faculty of Sciences, University of Tadulako, Central Sulawesi. The powdered dried tree barks (2.5 kg) of C. costata were macerated with methanol at room temperature for 24 h. The mixture was filtered and the methanol filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a concentrated methanol extract. To the extract distilled water was added, and the aqueous methanol extract was partitioned into CHCl3 and ethyl acetate to give CHCl3 (140 g) and ethyl acetate (40 g) soluble fractions. A portion (20 g) of the CHCl3 fraction was fractionated using column vacuum chromatography (silica gel, eluted with n-hexane–ethyl acetate = 9:1–1:1) to give six major fractions AF. Repeated purification of fraction C (230 g) by radial chromatography (n-hexane–EtOAc = 7:3) gave compound (I). Recrystallization from methanol afforded yellow crystals (50 g) with melting point 440–442 K.

H atoms were located in the difference map and repositioned geometrically with C–H = 0.93 − 0.96 Å and O–H = 0.86 Å. They were constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for CH3 and OH) times Ueq(C,O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
