The 10H10O4, which has been isolated from rhizoma Polygonum Cuspidatum, a Chinese folk medicine, contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The molecules are essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.061 (2) Å from the best planes. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions, with a stacking direction of the molecules parallel to [101].

The slices of the dried roots of P. cuspidatum (10 kg) were extracted with 60% aqueous acetone 3 times (24 h each) at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and some hydrophobic substances precipitated which were filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to a suitable volume, then chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column eluted with H2O, aqueous MeOH (10%-70%) and 50% acetone successively to give five fractions. The fraction eluated by 10% MeOH was subjected to MCI gel
eluted with gradient aqueous MeOH solvent. The 30% aqueous MeOH from the MCI column afforded the compound 5,7-dimethoxyphthalide as an amorphous powder. The powder was recrystallized in acetone and produced colourless prismatic crystals.The H atoms were refined at calculated positions riding on the parent carbon atoms (C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å) with isotropic displacement parameters Uiso(H) = 1.2U(Ceq) or 1.5U(–CH3). All CH3 hydrogen atoms were allowed to rotate but not to tip.

Experimental. The powder of 5,7-dimethoxyphthalide was solved in acetone and produced colorless crystal. |
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 compound 5, 7-dimethoxyphthalide has been previously reported. It could be obtained by different synthetic strategies, e.g. from 5,7-dihydroxyphthalide (Talapatra & Monoj, 1980), 6-iodo-3-methoxybenzyl alcohols (Dang et al., 1999) or 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (Orito et al.,1995). It could act as an intermediate product in the process of synthesizing some significant compounds, such as 5,7-dimethoxy-4-methylphthalide and 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylphthaIide (Zuo et al., 2008), or mycophenolic acid and its analogs (Lee et al., 2001). It was also reported as a byproduct in the synthesis of zearalenone and lasiodiplodin (Fürstner et al., 2000). However, no structural details were provided. In this study, 5,7-dimethoxyphthalide was isolated from the rhizoma Polygonum cuspidatum as colorless prismatic crystals.
The molecule (Fig. 1 ) is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.061 (2) Å from the best planes. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions with a stacking direction of the molecules parallel to [101] (Fig. 2 ).
