The title compound, C15H14O5, is a natural product, isolated from Sorbus lanata Syn. Pyrus lanata (D. Don) found in Pakistan. The compound is composed of three spiro-fused rings. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings is 4.81 (13)°. The methoxy groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 74.44 (14), 83.0 (2) and 66.3 (2)° with respect to the planes of the benzene rings to which they are attached. The molecule is consolidated by three intramolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains along the b axis.

The dried and crushed wood of Sorbus lanata (12 kg) was subjected to cold extraction with methanol. The methanolic extract (750 g) was suspended in water and successively partitioned with hexane, ethylacetate and butanol. The ethylacetate fraction (180 g) was further defatted with hexane several times. The defatted ethylacetate fraction (150 g) was subjected to → 0:100) and then with dichloromethane-methanol (98:2 → 90:10) as solvent systems. A total of 11 fractions, LS-4 (1 g), LS-5 (2.7 g), LS-11 (15 g), LS-18 (27 g), LS-25 (45 g), LS-46 (20 g),LS-60 (37 g), LS-62 (40 g), LS-73 (35 g), LS-81 (10 g) and LS-89 (8 g) were obtained according to their TLC profiles. Fraction LS-11 contained a white solid insoluble in methanol. The solid material was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated and further subjected to on silica gel [Merck Silica gel 60 (0.063-0.200 mm), 4 x 30 cm] using hexane-dichloromethane (100:0 → 0:100) as solvent system and as a result 10 fractions LS-1102, LS-1105, LS-1111, LS-1126, LS-1158, LS-1167, LS-1177, LS-1187, LS-1189 and LS-1199 were obtained. Fraction LS-1126 contained colourless crystals of various sizes and were separated from the solution by decantation. The crystals were washed with hexane several times. To obtain pure and larger crystals, these crystals were re-grown in a mixture of hexane-acetone (4:1) and afford colorles needles (80 mg).
on silica gel [Merck Silica gel60 (0.063-0.200 mm), 9 x 50 cm]. The column was first eluted with hexane-ethylacetate (100:0H atoms on the C of methyl, methine and oxygen were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.96, 0.93 and 0.82 Å, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH) and 1.5Ueq(CH3 and OH).
Sorbus lanata (D. Don) Schauer is an important medicinal plant, commonly found in Pakistan, Nepal and India. The title compound (Fig. 1) is a dibenzofuran derivative which has been previously reported from perry pear tree Pyrus communis (Kemp et al., 1983). It is composed of three spiro fused rings A (C1–C5/C12), B (O1/C5/C6/C11/C12), and C (C6–C11). The dihedral angles between the mean-planes of the rings A/B, B/C and A/C are 2.62 (14), 2.27 (16) and 4.81 (13) °, respectively, reflecting significant deviation from planarity of the fused ring system. The methoxy groups O2/C15, O4/C14 and O/C13 are oriented with respect to the plane of the phenyl ring (C1–C5/C12) at angles 74.44 (14), 82.95 (19) and 66.3 (2)°, respectively. The molecular structure is stabilized by three intramolecular hydrogen bonds O3—H3A···O4, C13—H13B···O4 and C15—H15B···O3. In the
the molecules are linked by the O3—H3A···O2 intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form infinite zigzag chains parallel to the b-axis (Fig. 2 and Table 1).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. |

Sorbus lanata (D. Don) Schauer is an important medicinal plant, commonly found in Pakistan, Nepal and India. The title compound (Fig. 1) is a dibenzofuran derivative which has been previously reported from perry pear tree Pyrus communis (Kemp et al., 1983). It is composed of three spiro fused rings A (C1–C5/C12), B (O1/C5/C6/C11/C12), and C (C6–C11). The dihedral angles between the mean-planes of the rings A/B, B/C and A/C are 2.62 (14), 2.27 (16) and 4.81 (13) °, respectively, reflecting significant deviation from planarity of the fused ring system. The methoxy groups O2/C15, O4/C14 and O/C13 are oriented with respect to the plane of the phenyl ring (C1–C5/C12) at angles 74.44 (14), 82.95 (19) and 66.3 (2)°, respectively. The molecular structure is stabilized by three intramolecular hydrogen bonds O3—H3A···O4, C13—H13B···O4 and C15—H15B···O3. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by the O3—H3A···O2 intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form infinite zigzag chains parallel to the b-axis (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
The crystal structure of dibenzofuran has been reported (Dideberg et al., (1972).
