In the title compound, C14H22O4 (systematic name: 9-hydroxy-1,5,5-trimethyl-1,8-epidioxyspiro[5.5]decan-2-one), which was isolated from the broth of Steccherinum ochraceum, the two six-membered rings adopt chair conformations and are bridged by a peroxide group. The hydroxy H atom forms a three-centre cyclic intermolecular O—H⋯(O,O′) hydrogen-bonding interaction with a peroxide and a carbonyl O-atom acceptor, forming [100] chains.

S. ochraceum was collected from the Ailao Mountain of Yunnan Province, China. The strain was cultured in a liquid medium composed of potato (200 g), glucose (20 g), KH2PO4 (3 g), MgSO4 (1.5 g), citric acid (0.1 g), and thiamin hydrochloride (10 mg) in 1 L of deionized water. The fungus was grown in reagent bottles (500 mL; media of 300 mL). The pH was adjusted to 6.5 before autoclaving.
was carried out on a shaker at 22° C and 150 RPM for 25 days. The culture broth (20 L) was filtered to remove the mycelium. The filtrate was then successively extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the crude extract (3.5 g) was chromatographed on a silica gel column using a CHCl3/MeOH gradient. Several fractions of increasing polarity were collected. Fraction II (850 mg) eluted with CHCl3/MeOH (100:1, v/v) was subjected to over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, using a petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (8:1, v/v) and CHCl3/MeOH (1:1, v/v) eluents respectively, and further purified by repeated recrystallization from MeOH to yield (I) (150 mg). Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a MeOH solution.All H atoms were placed in calculated sites and allowed to ride with C–H = 0.98–1.00 Å and O–H = 0.84 Å and Uiso = 1.2UeqC(methylene) and O(hydroxyl) or 1.5UeqC(methyl). 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. |

Mushrooms have proved to be a rich source of secondary metabolites with unusual structures as well as interesting biological activities. As a continuation of our study characterizing bioactive metabolites from higher fungi in China, a new norsesquiterpene peroxide, 3-hydroxy-8-oxo-3-nor-methylchamigrane-2,7-peroxide, C14H22O4 (I) was isolated from the fermentation broth of Steccherinum ochraceum. The six-membered C1–C2–C3–C4–C5–C6 and C1–C2–O(1)–O(2)–C7–C6 rings both adopt chair conformations and are bridged by the peroxide group (Fig. 1). The absolute configuration was not determined for the four chiral centres in this compound and the structures of no other compounds with a similar peroxide-bridged cage system are present in the CSD. The hydroxyl H in (I) gives a three-centre cyclic intermolecular O–H···O,O' hydrogen-bonding interaction with both a peroxide and a carbonyl O acceptor, (Table 1) giving one-dimensional chains which extend down the a direction of the unit cell.
