The title compound, C20H18O6, has been synthesized from 4-methoxyphenyl 3-O-benzoyloxy-α-L-rhamnopyranoside by oxidation on treatment with pyridinium dichromate in the presence of acetic anhydride. In the molecule, the pyran ring adopts an with the O atom at the flap position. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

A mixture of 4-methoxyphenyl 3-O-benzoyloxy-a-L-rhamnopyranoside (3.74 g, 10 mmol), pyridinium dichromate (4.60 g, 12 mmol), and acetic anhydride (5.68 ml, 60 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 ml) was stirred at reflux for 8 h, at the end of which time TLC (4:1 petroleumether–EtOAc) indicated that the reaction was complete. After direct concentration of the reaction mixture, the dark brown residue was diluted with EtOAc (60 ml) and the solution was passed through a short (5–10 cm) silica-gel column. The column was eluted with EtOAc and the eluents were concentrated and coevaporated with toluene. The residue was subjected to silica-gel
again (4:1 petroleum ether–EtOAc) to give the title compound (2.48 g, 70%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from 8:1 petroleumether–EtOAc at room temperature.H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.95 Å, 0.98 Å and 1.00 Å for aromatic, methyl and methine H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x= 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for other H. The

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. |

The enolone structural unit is often present in nature products, such as brevifolic acid, a constituent of the ellagitannins (Schmidt et al., 1954), meliacinslike cedrelone and anthothecol (Hodges et al., 1963; Bevan et al., 1963) or triterpenoids of the elaterin type, which are widely distributed in cucurbitaceous and cruciferous plants (Ripperger & Seifert, 1975). In a continuation of our search for alcohol oxidation (Yan et al., 2008), herein we present the crystal structure of the title compound, which was produced by oxidation with PDC and acetic anhydride.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the pyran ring conformation can be described as an envelope, with C1/C2/C3/C4/C5 lying almost on the same plane and O1 deviating from this mean plane. The terminal benzene rings of the molecule are nearly perpendicular to each other with a dihedral angle of 83.6 (1)°. The weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding presents in the crystal structure (Table 1).
