In the title molecule {systematic name: (5S)-5-[(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)methyl]furan-2(5H)-one}, C11H16O8, the five-membered ring is essentially planar, the maximum deviation being 0.0151 (13) Å for the O atom. The six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation with puckering parameters Q = 0.581 (2) Å, θ = 9.0 (2)° and φ = 39.7 (13)°, and with all of the substituents of the glucoside unit having normal equatorial orientations. The is stabilized by extensive O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

The details of the isolation, and some of the physical properties, of our sample of (I) have been reported previously (Benn & Yelland 1968). Suitable crystals of the title compound for X-ray study were grown from a solution in aqueous ethanol (ca 1:20) in the form of plates.
An
could not be established reliably because of insufficient effects. Therefore, 792 Friedel pairs were merged. The H-atoms were located from difference maps and were included in the refinements at geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances = 0.95, 0.99 and 1.00 Å for aryl, methylene and methine type H-atoms, respectively; the positions of hydroxyl H-atoms were allowed to refine freely. The H-atoms were assigned Uiso = 1.2 and 1.5 × Ueq of the parent C and O-atoms, respectively. The final difference map was free of chemically significant features.Data collection: COLLECT (Hooft, 1998); cell

NMR data (400 MHz, 1H; 100 MHz 13C) for a solution in D2O containing sodium 3-trimethylsilylpropionate-2,3 - d4 as reference: δH (400 MHz) 7.77 (1H, dd, J = 1.5 and 5.8 Hz, H-4), 6.3 (1H, dd, J = 2.1 and 5.8 Hz, H-3), 5.47 (1H, m), 4.48 (1H, d, J = 7.9 Hz, H-1'), 4.30 (1H, dd, J = 3.2 and 12.2 Hz, H-6 A), 3.95 (1H, dd, J = 5.8 and 12.2 Hz, H-6B), 3.91 (1H, dd, J = 2.1 and 12.5 Hz, H-6A'), 3.72 (1H, dd, J = 5.8 and 12.5 Hz, H-6B'), 3.48 (1H, dd, dd, J = ca 9 Hz H-3'), 3.43 (1H, m, H-5'), 3.37 (1H, dd, J = ca 9 Hz, H=4'), and 3.25 (1H, dd, J = 7.9 and 9.2 Hz, H-2'); δC 179.2 s (C-2), 158.5 d (C-4), 124.7 d (C-3), 105.6 d (C-1'), 86.9 d (C-5), 78.7 d (C-5'), 78.3 d (C-3'), 75.6 d (C-2'), 72.2 d (C-4'), 71.7 t (C-6), 63.3 t (C-6'). |
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. |

Ranunculin (I) is the glycosidic precursor of the vesicant protoanemonin present in numerous species of Rannunculaceae and is especially associated with the burning sensation on chewing leaves of buttercup plants. It was first obtained in crystalline form by Hill and van Heyningen (1951) who established its gross structure and showed that it undergoes enzymatic cleavage by β-glucosidase to yield the aglucone, which underwent easy dehydration to protoanemonin. These processes were shown to occur readily under autolytic conditions (Bai et al., 1996). The S-stereochemistry of the dihydrofuranone ring was deduced by Benn and Yelland (1968), and Boll (1968), as shown in the schematic diagram, and later confirmed by synthesis (Camps et al., 1982; Fang et al., 1989). Our sample of (I) was a natural product, and as such had been biosynthesised in the plant (and not made in a laboratory). The only stereoisomer which occurs naturally is the D-isomer, and both that and the anomeric configuration of the glycoosidic bond in (I) were established by cleavage of the glycoside by β-D-glucosidases. The X-ray structure reported here provides the simplest unequivocal proof of that stereochemistry since the chirality follows from that of the D-glucopyranosyl moiety.
The molecular structure of (I) is presented in Fig. 1. The five membered ring, O1/C2—C5, is essentially planar with the maximum deviation of any atom being 0.0151 (13) Å for O1. The six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation with puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975): Q = 0.581 (2) Å, θ = 9.0 (2)° and ϕ = 39.7 (13)°, with all of the substituents of the glucoside unit having normal equatorial orientations. The 5-membered ring folds back away from the six-membered ring as reflected by the torsion angle C6—O3—C1—C5 -162.86 (17)°. The bond distances and angles are as expected (Allen, 2002). The structure is stabilized by extensive O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonding resulting in a three diemsional network (Table 1 & Fig. 2).
There are two other, closely related, simple butenolides known, though their structures rest on chemical and spectrometric data, i.e., without X-ray crystallographic support. They are the (5R,6R) and (5S,6R) steeroisomers of 5-([1-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy]ethyl)-2(5H)-furanone (Perry et al., 1996); the glycosidic precursor of (Z)-5-ethylidene-2(5H)-furanone, a homologue of protoanemonin in Halocarpus biformis juvenile foliage.
