The title compound [systematic name 4-hydr­oxy-3-(1-methylethyl­idene)-6,7,8,8a-tetra­hydro-1-oxaacenaphthylen-2-one], C14H14O3, is a tricyclic norsesquiterpene. The structure has a pseudo-centre of symmetry (possibility of space group Pnma). However, the unit cell contains only four mol­ecules which have no inter­nal symmetry. The mol­ecules are linked into one dimensional chains along the b axis through O—H...O hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

Norsesquiterpenes isolated from many ligularia species show some biological activity, such as cytotoxicity (Gao et al., 1998; Fu et al., 2002). Knowledge of the three-dimensioned structure of these compounds is important in order to understand the biosynthetic pathway of terpenes and to establish structure–activity relationships (Kaneko et al., 1982) in this class of compounds.

The molecular backbone of the title compound has a fused tricyclic ring system as shown in Fig. 1. In the structure, the hydrogen attached to O1 forms a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond with the O2, Table 1, forming a one dimensional molecular chain along the b axis (Fig.2).

Experimental top

The dried and powdered roots and rhizomes of Ligularia macrophylla (5.0 kg) were extracted with 95% EtOH at reflux temperature three times and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give a residue (360 g), a portion of which (350 g) was suspended in H2O (2 L) and partitioned successively with petroleum ether, EtOAc, and n-BuOH. The EtOAc extract (50 g) was subjected to column chromatography on Si gel eluted successively with petroleum ether-acetone (30:1–1:1), the pure compound was obtained from petroleum ether:acetone (5:1).

Refinement top

The hydrogen atoms (except the hydrogen in the OH group) were located geometrically and refined with a riding model with temperature factors of 1.2 or 1.5 times their covalently bonded atoms. The hydrogen in OH group was located by difference Fourier map and restained with 0.82 A to oxygen atoms during refinement. Since the anomalous scattering was not strong enough to determine the absolute structure of the molecule Friedel equivalents were merged before refinement.

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
