The title compound, C10H14O2, was isolated from the chloroform extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100). There are weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions between the sheets.

Plant material: Taxus. wallichiana Zucc. was collected from the Hazara division of the North-western Frontier Province, Pakistan, in March 2005 and identified by Dr. Hasan Sher, a taxonomist of the Department of Botany, Jehanzeb Postgraduate College Saidu Sharif, Swat, Pakistan. A voucher specimen was deposited in the herbarium of the same institution. The aerial parts of the plant were air-dried under shade for six consecutive weeks at room temperature. The dried plant material was later on chopped, finely ground and stored in polyethylene bags under refrigeration for further experimentation.
The isolation of 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-(2S)-butanol was previously carried out by Fan et al. (1999). Extraction and purification: The air-dried and powdered bark (4.0 K g) was macerated in methanol with occasional manual shaking at room temperature for a period of 72 h. The process was repeated 3 times followed by filtration. The combined filtrates were evaporated under reduced pressure at 313K to obtain a crude gummy material (514 g, 12.85% w/w), which was suspended in distilled water and successively extracted with hexane (11% w/w), chloroform (31.9% w/w), ethyl acetate (38.8% w/w), and finally with water (18.2% w/w) to give the respective fraction. The chloroform fraction (182 g) was further separated using silica gel
(95 mm in diameter). The column was eluted with increasing polarities of n-hexane with chloroform (1%-100%) followed by the gradient mixtures of chloroform and methanol. The methanol gradient was increased carefully to collect twenty seven sub-fractions (C1—C27). The sub-fraction C17 (611 mg) obtained on elution with 6% methanol/chloroform mixture was finally purified by flash (silica gel, 8 g) by using chloroform: methanol; (95:5) as to yield a colorless crystalline compound, 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-(2S)-butanol (928 mg). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from a solution of the title compound in a mixture of chloroform: methanol (95:5).The hydrogen atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically. The C—H distances refined in the range 0.94 (2)-1.02 (2)Å.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. Cosier, J. & Glazer, A. M. (1986). J. Appl. Cryst. 19, 105–107. |
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 genus Taxus belonging to the family Taxaceae is well known for its anticancer agents, namely taxol and dosetaxel (Wani et al., 1971; Prasain et al., 2001; Nisar et al., 2008a,b;2010). Taxus. wallichiana Zucc. (Himalayan Yew) is a small to medium sized evergreen tree, native to the northern areas of the Pakistan. Literature survey revealed that this plant is used traditionally for the treatment of high fever and acute painful conditions (Kaul, 1997). Leaves of the plant are used to make herbal tea for indigestion and epilepsy (Baquar, 1995; Ahmed, 1997). During our ongoing search on the medicinally important plants of Pakistan, the title compound was isolated from the chloroform-soluble part of Taxus. wallichiana and the structure was established on the basis of X-ray diffraction studies.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular O1—H1O1···O2i and O2—H1O2···O1ii (see Table 1 for symmetry codes) hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional sheets paralel to the (100) (Fig.2). A weak C—H···π interaction is also observed.
