The title compound, C20H28O2, commonly named Sugiol, is a natural oxygenated diterpene that we have isolated for the first time from a hexane extract of the fruits of Juniperus Oxycedrus L. Its X-ray crystal structure determination confirms an abietane skeleton which was predicted by spectroscopic analysis, mainly by 1H and 13C NMR. The cyclohexane ring adopts a flattened chair conformation, while the cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation. The molecules are linked through O-H
O hydrogen bonds to form a zigzag chain extending parallel to the c axis.
In order to isolate similar compounds, we have studied the chemical composition of the fruits of Juniperus oxycedrus L. Thus, 203 g of pulverized cones was extracted with hexane. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 14.3 g of the crude hexanic extract which was purified on silica gel column chromatography using hexane–AcOEt (97:3) as eluent, to give crystals of Sugiol (I). All 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data of the isolated product were in full accord with the litterature (Bai-Ping & Isao, 1991).
All H atoms attached to C and O atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.98 Å (methine), 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.96 Å (methyl) and O—H = 0.82 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl, OH).
In the absence of significant anomalous scattering, the absolute configuration could not be reliably determined and then the Friedel pairs were merged and any references to the Flack parameter were removed.

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 > 2σ(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. |

Juniperus oxycedrus L. has been used in traditional folk medicine for the treatment of chronic eczema and other several skin diseases (Bouhlal et al., 1988). Diterpenes are among the identified chemical constituents of this plant. They are of great interest with respect to their biological activity including antitumor, antituberculous and antimalarial effects (Iwamato et al., 2003; Politi et al., 2003; Ulubelen et al., 1997).
The structure of the title compound is built up by three fused six-membered rings A, B and C (Fig. 1). B displays an envelope conformation with puckering parameters, Q=0.510 (4) Å, θ= 124.6 (4)° and φ= 227.1 (6)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975) whereas C has a flattened chair conformation with Q= 0.546 (4) Å, θ = 5.0 (4) and φ = 234 (5)°. A is an aromatic ring and it is perfectly planar. The molecules are linked through O—H···O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl group as a donor and the ketone oxygen as an acceptor yielding a zig zag chain developing parallel to the c axis (Fig. 2, Table 1).
