The title compound, C15H18O3, was isolated from Lactarius piperatus (Fr.) S. F. Gary collected from the Kunming area in Yunnan province, China. The central cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation, while the furanone ring is close to planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0174 Å). The remaining methylene cyclohexene ring has a flattened chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains along the a axis.

Plant material: Lactarius piperatus (Fr.) S. F. Gary was collected from the Kunming area in Yunnan province of China and authenticated by Prof. Mu Zang, Kunming Institute of Botany, where a voucher specimen labeled as HKAS 30213, was deposited. Extraction and Isolation: The fresh mushroom (5 kg) was extracted with 95% EtOH and yielded 91 g of crude extract, which was then suspended in 2 L water. The suspension was partitioned with EtOAc (4× 200 ml) to give an EtOAc-soluble portion, and a water-soluble fraction. After removal of the EtOAc under reduced pressure, 49 g of dark residue was obtained, and this was subjected to silica-gel
eluted with a stepwise gradient solvent system of petroleum/acetone 10 : 0 to 5 : 5, followed by MeOH, to afford four major fractions (monitored by TLC). Fr. 1 consisted mainly of Fr. 4 was much smaller and complex. The separation and purification were focused on Fr. 2 and 3, in which the sesquiterpenes were concentrated. A portion of sub-fraction Fr. 2 was re-chromatographed on silica gel using a petroleum ether-acetone (8:2) system and the isolated product was recrystallized from chloroform-methanol (7:3) to yield the active component as light colorless crystals.H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using the riding-model approximation, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). In the absence of significant
effects, Freidel pairs were merged.Data collection: CAD-4 Software (Enraf–Nonius, 1989); cell

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. |

The fungus Lactarius piperatus (Fr.) S. F. Gary (family Russulaceae, Basidiomycotina) is widely distributed in China (Xie et al., 1996). The ethanolic extract has been reported to inhibit the growth of several tumor cell lines (Mo et al., 1995). L. Piperatus, growing in Europe and Japan, has been investigated, and a new amino acid and a few sesquiterpenes were isolated (Fushiya et al., 1988; Sterner et al., 1985a; Yaoita et al., 1999), but L. piperatus growing in China has not been previously investigated chemically. A series of sesquiterpenes, belonging to the marasmane, lactarane, isolactarane, and secolactarane types, has been isolated from the genus of Lactarius (De Bernardi et al., 1993, Sterner et al., 1990). These sesquiterpenes provide a chemical defense system against parasites and predators (Sterner et al., 1985b).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. All bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The central cyclohexyl ring C5-C6-C7-C10-C11-C12 adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the C7-C8-C9-O1-C10 ring and the plane defined by C12-C1-C2-C3-C4 is 75.3 (3)°. Atom C5 deviates 0.692 (2) Å from the plane defined by C12-C1-C2-C3-C4. In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form chains along the a axis (Fig. 2).
