The title compound (common name: 3
-acetoxy-8-epi-sclareolide), C18H28O4, is a sclareolide derivative, which was synthesized from 9(11)-en-3
-acetoxy-8-epi-sclareolide. In the molecular structure, the two six-membered rings display chair conformations and the five-membered ring displays an envelope conformation. Weak intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
To a methanol solution (10 ml) of 9(11)-en-3β-Acetoxy-8-epi-sclareolide (1 mmol) (Yang et al., 2006) was added NiCl2.6H2O (1 mmol), and the mixture was cooled to 273 K with an ice bath, then NaBH4 (4 mmol) was added in small portions over 30 min. The ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture was left stirred for 4 h at room temperature. Then the suspension was filtered, and after usual workup, the residue was purified by flash chromatography eluted with petroleum ether–ethyl acetate (10:1) to afford the title compound. Yield (97%).
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98–1.00 Å, and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The absolute configuration has been assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure; Friedel pairs were merged.

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. |

Sclareolide has exhibited phytotoxic activity and cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines (Choudhary et al., 2004). It also be important pharmaceutical intermediates (Quideau et al., 2002). Here we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound which is a 8-epi-sclareolide type compound.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule contains two six-membered rings, A (atoms C1–C5/C10) and B (atoms C5–C10), and one five-membered lactone rings C (C8/C9/O1/C11/C12). The cyclohexane ring A and the cyclohexane ring B exist both in chair conformation. The γ-lactone rings C adopt envelope conformations with C9 at the flap (Devi et al., 2004; Bhattacharyya et al., 2006). The rings A/B are trans fused and the rings B/C are cis fused. The C1/C2/C4/C5, C6/C7/C9/C10, C8/C11/C12/O1 form least square plane D, E and F, respectively. The dihedral angels between planes D and E is 15.50 (8)°, between planes E and F is 59.03 (7)°, between planes D and F is 43.54 (7)°. The C3 and C10 deviate from plane D by 0.634 (2)and 0.644 (2) Å, respectively. The C5 and C8 deviate from plane E by 0.765 (2) and 0.382 (3) Å, respectively. The C9 deviates from plane F by 0.566 (3) Å.
The intermolacular weak C—H···O hydrogen bonding presents in the crystal structure (Table 1).
