The title compound (systematic name: 3-methoxy-24-methyl-9,19-cyclolanost-25-ene), C32H54O, is a triterpenoid which has been isolated from Skimmia laureola. The three six-membered rings adopt chair, slightly distorted half-chair and distorted boat conformations, and the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation. All the rings are trans fused.
The methanol extract of Skimmia laureola was subjected to silica-gel column chromatography. The column was eluted with increasing polarities of pet. ether/CHCl3. This afforded 4 fractions (PC1—PC4). The fraction PC3 (18 g) obtained by elution with 1 litre pet. ether/CHCl3 (7:3) was subjected to column chromatography. The column was successively eluted with 2 litre pet. ether and 3 litre pet. ether/CHCl3 (ranging from 9:1 to 7:3) to afford 7 fractions (PC3A—PC3G). The fraction PC3—D (1.4 g) obtained by elution of the column with 500 ml pe t. ether/CHCl3 (7:3) was further subjected to column chromatography using 500 ml pe t. ether/CHCl3 (7.5:2.5) to afford a pure triterpene, o-methyl cyclolaudenol (I) as colourless crystals.
An absolute structure could not be established reliably becuase of insufficient anomalous scattering effects. Therefore, Friedel pairs (2070) were merged. All the H-atoms were visible in the difference Fourier maps, they were included in the refinements at geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances = 0.95 - 1.00 Å, and Uiso = 1.5 and 1.2 times Ueq of the methyl and non-methyl C-atoms to which they were bonded. The final difference map was free of chemically significant features.

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. |

Skimmia laureola is abundantly found in Northern areas of Pakistan and in Azad Kashmir (Polunin & Stainton, 1984). It finds use in the folk medicine. The strongly aromatic leaves are used in curries or as a flavoring for other foods (Bukingham, 1982). The methanol extract of the plant was subjected to repeated column chromatography to afford a pure triterpene, identified on the basis of spectroscopic studies as o-methyl cyclolaudenol, (I) (Atta-ur-Rahman et al. 2002). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of (I).
The molecular structure of (I) is presented in Fig. 1. The molecule contains three six-membered rings, A, B and C, a five- membered ring, D and a cyclopropane ring. The ring A adopts a chair conformation. The rings B and C show disotortions due to the trans-fused ring D and cyclopropane, exhibiting slightly distorted half-chair and distorted boat conformations, respectively. The puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) for the rings A to C are: Q = 0.576 (4), 0.503 (4), 0.620 (3) Å, θ = 6.1 (4), 36.7 (5), 71.7 (3)° and φ = 7(4), 90.5 (7), 269.7 (3)°, respectively. Ring D adopts an envelope conformation. All rings are trans fused. A search of compounds containing the basic skeleton of (I) in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD version 5.30; Allen, 2002) yielded only 12 hits, with two compounds closely related to (I), i.e., cimigenol-3-O-β-D-xylopranoside methanol solvate (Fan et al., 2006) and 24-methylene-9,19-cyclolanostan-3β-yl acetate (Dhaneshwar et al., 1986).
