The title compound, C22H28O, was isolated from the aerial part of Inula viscosa (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia viscosa (L) Greuter]. The cyclohexene ring has a half-chair conformation, whereas the cyclohexane ring displays a chair conformation being substituted at position 2 by a 3-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-enoyl group. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains in the [010] direction.

In a flask was introduced a mixture of 500 mg (2.42 mmol), of 1 - (4a, 8-dimethyl-1, 2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-ethanone, 257 mg (2.42 mmol.) of para chlor-benzaldehyde, 30 ml of anhydrous ethanol and 1 ml of a solution of sodium hydroxide(2 N). The mixture was stirred for three hours at room temperature. After neutralization followed by extraction three time with 20 ml of dichloromethane, the organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, then evaporated under vacuum.
on a column of silica gel with hexane-ethyl acetate (97/3) as of the residue allowed us to obtain 3-(4-méthylphenyl)-1-(4a, 8-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a, 5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one with a yield of 80%. The title compound is recrystallized in hexane-ethyl acetate (70/30).All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å(aromatic), 0.96Å (methyl), 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.98Å (methine) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (aromatic, methylene, methine) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq (methyl). In the absence of significant anomalous scatterers, the
could not be reliably determined, so 1566 Friedel pairs were merged before the final refinement.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); 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 > 2σ(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. |

Our work lies within the framework of the valorization of medicinal plants and concerns Inula Viscosa (L) Aiton or Dittrichia Viscosa (L) Greuter. This plant is widespread in Mediterranean area and extends to the Atlantic cost of Morocco. It is a well known medicinal plant (Shtacher & Kasshman, 1970; Bohlmann & Gupta, 1982), which exhibits some pharmacological activities (Azoulay et al., 1986). This plant has been the subject of chemical investigation in terms of isolating sesquiterpene lactones (Bohlmann et al., 1977) and sesquiterpene acids (Ceccherelli et al., 1988). The isocostic acid is a major constituent of the dichloromethane extract of the Inula viscosa (L). The literature does not report any results on the transformation of this acid. In order to prepare products with high added value, we studied the reactivity of this acid. Thus, from this acid, we have prepared by reaction of Curtius the 1 - (4a, 8dimethyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-ethanone, which was synthesized by Kutney et al. (1984). The condensation of this ketone with para- methylbenzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide allowed us to obtain the title compound (I) with a good yield of 80%. The structure of this new derivative of isocostic acid was established by NMR spectral analysis of 1H, 13 C and mass spectroscopy and confirmed by its single-crystal X-ray structure.
The molecule of (I) is built up from two fused six-membered rings, substituted at position 2 by 4-methylphenylpropenoyl group The molecular structure of (I), Fig.1, shows the cyclohexane ring to adopt a chair conformation, as indicated by the total puckering amplitude QT = 0.5617 (17)Å and spherical polar angle θ =7.25 (17)° with ϕ = 260.6 (14)°. While the cyclohexene ring has a half chair conformation with QT = 0.5071 (18) Å, θ =49.7 (2)°, ϕ = 12.5 (6)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link molecules into chains in [010] (Fig. 2).
