(20S)-Dammar-24-ene-3β,20-diol monohydrate from the bark of Aglaia exima (Meliaceae)

In the title compound {systematic name: (1R,2R,5R,7R,10R,11R,14S,15R)-14-[(2S)-2-hy­droxy-6-methyl­hept-5-en-2-yl]-2,6,6,10,11-penta­methyl­tetra­cyclo­[8.7.0.0^2,7.0^11,15]hepta­decan-5-ol monohydrate}, C₃₀H₅₂O₂·H₂O, the three fused cyclo­hexane rings adopt chair conformations and the hy­droxy substituent of one of these occupies an axial position. The fused cyclo­pentane ring adopts an envelope conformation (with the flap atom being the C atom bearing the methyl group) and the 3-methyl­but-2-enyl portion of its substituent is disordered over three sets of sites in a 0.413 (7):0.250 (7):0.337 (7) ratio. The O atoms of both water mol­ecules occupy special positions of 2 site symmetry. In the crystal, O_s—H...O_w and O_w—H...O_s (s = steroid and w = water) hydrogen bonds link hy­droxy groups and water mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was found to be a non-merohedral twin with a 0.518 (1):0.482 (1) component ratio.
