Abstract: | The title compound, (1α,6β, 1 1β, 14α)-1,7:6,20-diepoxy-6,1 1-dihydroxy- 6,7-secoent- kaur-1 6-ene-7,15-dione-14-acetate (macrocalyxin J), is a diterpenoid which was isolated from the leaves of Rabdosia macrocalyx and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in orthorhombic, spac e group P212121 with a = 9.3608(8), b = 14.9787(12), c = 15.5750(13)(A), Z = 4, V = 2183.8(3) (A)3, C22H30O9, Mr = 438.46, Dc = 1.334 g/m3, μ(MoKα) = 0.103 mm-1,F(000) = 936, the final R = 0.0532 and wR = 0.1262 for 2252 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). In the molecule, three six-membered rings adopt chair, boat and slightly distorted boat conformations,respectively, while both five-membered rings have approximate envelope conformations. |
