The chloroform extract of dried areca nut was chromatographed on a silica gel (200–300 mesh) column with increasing concentrations of EtOAc in petroleum ether. The fractions eluting with petroleum ether were collected to afford crude compound. The pure title compound was obtained by recrystallization with chloroform. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of chloroform at room temperature.

H atoms were treated as riding in idealized positions, with C—H distances in the range 0.95–1.00 Å, depending on the atom type. Displacement parameters for H atoms were assigned as Uiso = 1.2Ueq of the attached atom (1.5 for methyl groups).
Areca catechu L. is an important economical plant in tropical and subtropical areas. Its ripe fruit is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of constipation, oedema, beriberi and dyspepsia. Pharmacological research have shown areca nut possesses psychoactive (Hocart & Fankhauser, 1996, Norton, 1998), anti-depressant (Dar et al. 1997), anti-HIV-1 (Kusumoto et al., 1995), anti-melanogenesis (Lee & Choi, 1999), anti-inflammatory (Pithayanukul et al., 2009), anti-oxidant (Chan et al., 2008), anti-tumor (Iwamoto et al., 1988) and cytotoxic activities (Zhang et al. 2010). During our investigation of the anti-depressant activity of Areca catechu L., the title compound (I) was isolated from chloroform extract of areca nut.
The structure of (I) was analysed by spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis and proved to be arborinol methyl ether. The same compound has previously been found in species of Gramineous (Ohmoto & Natori 1969) and the structures of related compounds have been previously reported (Takahashi & Iitaka, 1972, Khera et al., 2003, Corrêa et al., 2009), their stereochemistry were specified by biosynthesis. In this study, X-ray crystallographic analysis of (I) was undertaken to establish the structure and to assign the absolute stereochemistry. The
(Flack, 1983) x = 0.02 (22) is slightly ambiguous based on of the light atoms (the heaviest atom in this compound is oxygen). Thus analysis of the was further performed by using likelihood methods (Hooft et al., 2008) with PLATON (Spek, 2009). The resulting value is y = -0.03 (3), corresponding to a probability P2(true) = 1.000 for this structure, confirming the This value also agrees with the CD spectroscopic measurement result (Fig. 1). As shown in Fig. 2, rings A, B, C and D assume a chair conformation, while ring E adopts a The A/B, C/D, and D/E ring junctions are trans fused about the C5DC10, C13DC14 and C17DC18 bonds, respectively. The of each chiral atom is 3R, 5R, 8S, 10S, 13R, 14S, 17S, 18S, 21S respectively. Compared with (I), the at all chiral centers of lupeol methyl ether is 3S, 5R, 8R, 9S,10R, 13R, 14R, 17R, 19R, while Fernane is 3R, 5S, 9R, 10S, 13S, 14S, 17R, 18R, 21R, agreeing well with the original results (Corrêa, et al., 2009, Khera et al., 2003).For the biological activity of Areca catechu L. compounds, see: Dar et al.

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. |

Areca catechu L. is an important economical plant in tropical and subtropical areas. Its ripe fruit is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of constipation, oedema, beriberi and dyspepsia. Pharmacological research have shown areca nut possesses psychoactive (Hocart & Fankhauser, 1996, Norton, 1998), anti-depressant (Dar et al. 1997), anti-HIV-1 (Kusumoto et al., 1995), anti-melanogenesis (Lee & Choi, 1999), anti-inflammatory (Pithayanukul et al., 2009), anti-oxidant (Chan et al., 2008), anti-tumor (Iwamoto et al., 1988) and cytotoxic activities (Zhang et al. 2010). During our investigation of the anti-depressant activity of Areca catechu L., the title compound (I) was isolated from chloroform extract of areca nut.
The structure of (I) was analysed by spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis and proved to be arborinol methyl ether. The same compound has previously been found in species of Gramineous (Ohmoto & Natori 1969) and the structures of related compounds have been previously reported (Takahashi & Iitaka, 1972, Khera et al., 2003, Corrêa et al., 2009), their stereochemistry were specified by biosynthesis. In this study, X-ray crystallographic analysis of (I) was undertaken to establish the structure and to assign the absolute stereochemistry. The Flack parameter (Flack, 1983) x = 0.02 (22) is slightly ambiguous based on resonant scattering of the light atoms (the heaviest atom in this compound is oxygen). Thus analysis of the absolute configuration was further performed by using likelihood methods (Hooft et al., 2008) with PLATON (Spek, 2009). The resulting value is y = -0.03 (3), corresponding to a probability P2(true) = 1.000 for this structure, confirming the absolute configuration. This value also agrees with the CD spectroscopic measurement result (Fig. 1). As shown in Fig. 2, rings A, B, C and D assume a chair conformation, while ring E adopts a envelope conformation. The A/B, C/D, and D/E ring junctions are trans fused about the C5DC10, C13DC14 and C17DC18 bonds, respectively. The absolute configuration of each chiral atom is 3R, 5R, 8S, 10S, 13R, 14S, 17S, 18S, 21S respectively. Compared with (I), the absolute configuration at all chiral centers of lupeol methyl ether is 3S, 5R, 8R, 9S,10R, 13R, 14R, 17R, 19R, while Fernane is 3R, 5S, 9R, 10S, 13S, 14S, 17R, 18R, 21R, agreeing well with the original results (Corrêa, et al., 2009, Khera et al., 2003).
