In the title compound, C17H20O3, the five-membered cyclopentyl ring displays an with the atom at the flap position 0.538 (3) Å out of the mean plane formed by the other four atoms. The dihedral angle between the benzene and furan rings is 63.34 (15)°. In the molecules are linked through intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along [101].

1-(2-Mesityl-acetoxy)-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester (10 mmol, 3.04 g) was added to a solution of potassium t-butoxide (12 mmol, 1.34 g) in t-butylalcohol (35 ml) and the mixture was stirred at reflux for 5 h. Then water (70 ml) was added and the solution was acidified with hydrochloric (2M) to give a solid precipitate. The solid was filtrated and recrystallized with 95% ethanol to colourless blocks.
H atoms were included in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 and O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined using a rinding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C or O).

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. |

Substituted 4-hydroxy-1-oxaspiro[4,4]non-3-en-2-one represent an important class of tetronic acids and part of them have high biological activity as herbicides and insecticides (Fischer et al., 1995). Bayer company has developed three tetronic acids pesticides-spirodiclofen, spiromesifen and spirotetramat (Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, 1995). In addition, the title compound 3-mesityl-4-hydroxy-1-oxaspiro[4,4]non-3-en-2-one is the key intermediate in preparing highly efficient acaricide- spiromesifen. As part of our continuing interest in the new acaricide design and synthesis, We have isolated the product, (I), of the cyclized reaction of 1-(2-mesityl-acetoxy)-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester as colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule contains one benzene ring and two five membered rings. The dihedral angle between benzene and furan rings is 63.28 (15)°, smaller than the angle between benzene and furan rings of the compound 3-Mesityl-2-oxo-1-oxaspiro[4,4]non-3-en-4-yl-2-(4-chlorophenyl) -3-methylbutyrate (Yu et al., 2009). The cyclopentyl ring displays an envelope conformation with C17 atom at the flap position 0.538 (3) Å out of the mean plane formed by the other four atoms. The title molecules are linked through an intermolecular hydrogen bond of O1—H1···O2. As expected, C2—C3 and C4—O2 are typically double bonds with bond distances of 1.344 (2) and 1.220 (2) Å. The bond distance of C3—C4 is 1.457 (2) Å, suggesting that carbonyl group on C4 has formed conjugate system with double bond on C3 and C2.
