Cabraleahydroxylactone, C27H44O3, isolated from the leaves of Aglaia exima, has three six-membered rings fused together that adopt chair conformations. Its two five-membered rings are enveloped shaped. The hydroxy group is in an axial position. It is a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent molecule; the O-H
O interactions lead to the formation of a helical chain that runs along the b axis. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit.
For the isolation and spectroscopic characterization of cabraleahydroxylactone from other Alglaia species, see: Su et al. (2006
); Yang et al. (2008
). For another compound from Aglaia exima, see: Awang et al. (2010
