The title compound, C7H8O4, isolated from Opuntia dillenii Haw (Cactaceae), is almost planar [maximum deviation of 0.027 (2) Å] except for the H atoms of the methylene and methyl groups. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Plant Material: Opuntia dillenii Haw (whole plant) was collected from the areas of Mar Balochan, Sangla Hill, Distt. Nankana, Pakistan, in April 2008, and identified by Muhammad Ajaib (Taxonomist), Department of Botany, Government College University, Lahore.
Extraction and isolation: The shade-dried ground whole plant (7 kg) of Opuntia dillenii Haw was exhaustively extracted with methanol (10L ×4) at room temperature. The extract was evaporated to yield the residue (1.1 kg), which was dissolved in distilled water (2.0 L) and partitioned with n-hexane (2L ×4), chloroform (2L × 4), ethyl acetate (2L × 4) and n-butanol (2L × 4) respectively. The chloroform soluble extract (157 g) was subjected to
using hexane with gradient of CHCl3 and followed by methanol up to 100%. Fifteen fractions (Fr. 1-15) were collected. The Fr. 14 was loaded on flash silica gel and eluted with MeOH : CHCl3 (2 : 98) to get purified crystals of opuntiol (84.7 mg).The H atom of the OH group was located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with a O–H distance restrained to 0.83 (1)Å, with displacement parameters fixed at 1.5 times Ueq of the parent O atom. The rest H atoms were placed geometrically, with C–H = 0.93-0.97 Å, and treated using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(parent atom).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

Opuntia dillenii Haw (Cactaceae) usually grows in semi-desert regions in the tropics and subtropics. The stem and fruit of this plant are used in a folk medicine for reducing cholesterol levels, treatment of gastric ulcers, inflammation, diabetes and several other diseases (Chang et al., 2008). The phytochemical investigations on this plant have led to the isolation of various oxygenated constituents namely opuntiol, opuntioside-I, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, L-(-)-malic acid, (E)-ferulic acid, 4-ethoxy-6-hydroxymethyl-α-pyrone, 1-heptanecanol, vanillic acid, isorhamnetin, isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside, rutin, quercetin, 3,3'-dimethyl quercetin, 3-O-methyl quercetin, 3-O-methyl quercetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol, kaempferol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)- β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferide, β-sitosterol, and manghaslin (Qiu et al., 2002). In the present study we first time report the crystal structure of opuntiol using single-crystal XRD.
In the title molecule, I, shown in Fig. 1, bond lengths and angles display normal values (Allen et al., 1987). Except the H atoms of the methlene and methyl groups, the molecule of I is almost planar, with maximum deviations of 0.027 (2)Å for O4, 0.023 (2)Å for C7, 0.020 (1)Å for O2 and -0.019 (2)Å for C2. For the methoxy and hydroxy methyl groups at the C3 and C5 positions in I, the C2–C3–O3–C7 and C4–C3–O3–C7 torsion angles are 0.9 (2)° and -178.94 (15)°, the O1–C5–C6–O4 and C4–C5–C6–O4 torsion angles are 177.77 (14)° and -2.9 (3)°, respectively.
In the crystal structure of I, there are non-classical C–H···O and classical O–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1), forming a three-dimensional network (Figs. 2 and 3).
