Comment top

The title neolignan, (I), has been previously reported from Piper futokadsura (Ogiso et al., 1968), Magnolia denudata (Iida et al., 1982), Magnolia liliflora (Iida & Ito, 1983; Talapatra et al., 1982) and other plants (Shizuri & Yamamura, 1983). The crystal structure of an orthorhombic (P212121) polymorph has been previously reported (Roychowdhury & Gosh, 1984), but its coordinates are not available. The conformation of the molecule in the orthorhombic polymorph is reported by Roychowdhury & Gosh to be somewhat different from what we find, even in the portion of the molecule with three fused rings, which might be expected to be rather rigid. They report the tetrahydrofuran ring to be a half chair, while in the present trigonal polymorph, it is clearly envelope, with C7' lying 0.689 (3) Å out of the best plane of the other four atoms. Further, they report that all atoms of the semiquinone ring `except (the spiro C atom) lie on a plane since the torsion angles associated with this group are within 6° of zero'. We find larger deviations, with torsion angles about C3'—C4' and C4'—C5' differing from zero by 12.7 (3) and 19.8 (3)°, respectively. In the present structure, the six atoms of the semiquinone ring deviate from coplanarity by distances ranging from -0.0310 (14) Å for C3' to 0.1603 (13) Å for C1'. We find the C8—C1' bond to be somewhat elongated at 1.583 (2) Å, which was also noted by Roychowdhury & Gosh (1.589 Å).

In the title structure, a short intermolecular C4'···O2(y-x, 1 - x, z - 1/3) contact exists with a distance of 2.968 (3) Å.

Experimental top

Leaves of Magnolia soulangiana, collected in Vancouver, BC, Canada, were air-dried, ground, and extracted with CH2Cl2 at room temperature for 24 h. The crude extract was separated by standard vacuum liquid chromatography procedures (Cantrell et al., 1996), using silica gel and n-hexane/ethyl acetate mixtures of increasing polarity. Fractions 58–61 (of 66) yielded crystals of futoenone.

Refinement top

The absolute configuration could not be determined. H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å and thereafter treated as riding. A torsional parameter was refined for each methyl group; Uiso = 1.2Ueq of the attached atom (1.5 for methyl groups).

Special details top

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.
