The title compound, C20H26O2, was isolated from a chloroform extract of Tetraclinis articulata wood. The molecule contains three fused rings which exhibit different conformations. The non-aromatic oxo-substituted ring has a screw-boat conformation, while the central ring has a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked to each other by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the carbonyl and hydroxy groups.

50 g of wood powder Tetraclinis articulata was extracted with chloroform in Soxhlet apparatus during 24 h. After evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, a residue of 3.2 g was obtained.
on a column of silica gel of this residue eluting with hexan - ethyl acetate (94 / 4), allowed us to isolate in pure form 640 mg of 7-hydroxy-8-isporpyl- 1, 1,4 a-trimethyl-4a, 9,10,10 a-tetrahydro-1H-phenanthrene-3-one. Crystallization of this product was performed at room temperature in a solution of ethyl acetate.All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl), 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.98Å (methine) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (methylene, methine) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq (methyl). In the absence of significant
the could not be reliably determined and thus 1554 Friedel pairs were merged and any references to the were removed.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2010); cell

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

Among the diterpenoids, the class with the phenantrene skeleton may have biological activities which have been recently reported (Atta-ur-Rahman et al.,1999; Azucena et al.,2001; Panter et al., 2002; Ulusu et al., 2002). These diterpenoids are often isolated from the medicinal plants. In our study, we were interested to the medicinal plant, Tetraclinis articulata which is used in Moroccan traditional medicine (Bellakhdar, 1997). Some of its oxygenated compounds are effective as an antifongic (Evidente et al., 1997), cytotoxic (Comte et al., 1995) and inhibit various human leukocyte functions(Barrero et al., 2003). In order to isolate similar compounds, we have studied the chloroform extract of Tetraclinis articulata wood. Thus, the extraction with chloroform using a soxhlet apparatus allow us isolate the totarolenone (7-hydroxy-8-isporpyl-1,1,4a-trimethyl- 4a,9,10,10a- tetrahydro-1H-phenanthren-3-one) a derivative of totarolone (7-hydroxy-8-isporpyl-1,1,4a-trimethyl-3,4,4a,9,10,10a- hexahydophenantren-2-one) (Zeroual et al., 2007). The structure of this new product was determined by NMR spectral analysis of 1H, 13 C and mass spectroscopy and confirmed by its single-crystal X-ray structure. The molecule (I) is built up from three fused six-membered rings. The non aromatic oxo-substituted ring has a screw boat conformation, as indicated by the total puckering amplitude QT = 0.490 (3)Å and spherical polar angle θ =67.1 (4)° with ϕ = 272.2 (3)°. While the central ring has a half chair conformation with QT = 0.545 (3) Å, θ =53.4 (3)°, ϕ = 278.5 (3)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). Molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Figure 2) involving the carbonyl and the hydroxy groups and propagate in chain parallel to the a axis.
