The title eremophilenolide, C15H22O3, is a natural compound isolated from Senecio laetus Edgew. The two cis-fused six-membered rings have chair confomations and the five-membered ring has a planar [maximum deviation = 0.010 (1) Å]. The β-hydroxy group participates in intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming molecular chains along the a axis.

The air-dried whole plants of Senecio laetus (0.7 kg) were pulverized and triply extracted with MeOH (each time for 7 days) at room temperature. The extract was concentrated to give a residue (67 g), which was further separated by CC (SiO2, 200–300mesh, petroleum ether/EtOAc (20:1, 15:1, 10:1, 8:1, 5:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1 (v/v)) to yield 8 fractions: Fr. 1–8. Each fraction was examined by TLC and combined to afford many subfractions. Fr.5a (0.5 g) was subjected to CC (SiO2, 200–300mesh, petroleum ether/ EtOAc 10:1, 5:1 (v/v)) to provide the title compound (20 mg). 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of this compound was recorded on Bruker-AV-500 s pectrometer, using CDCl3 as solvent and Me4Si as internal standard. The stereochemistry was established by the X-ray diffraction experiment.
The hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions [d(O—H) = 0.82 Å] and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C,O). The positions of methyl and hydroxy hydrogens were rotationally optimized. In the absence of any significant anomalous scatterers in the molecule, the
has been arbitrarily assigned. Friedel pairs have been averaged.Data collection: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 2000); cell

Experimental. Since the two skeleton methyl groups in eremophilenolides are in biogenic β orientation, we assigned the relative stereochemistry of the title eremophilenolide, by reference to the structures of related eremophilenolides in Wang et al. (2000) and Fu et al. (2007) although the absolute configuration could not be reliably determined from anomalous dispersion effects with Mo radiation used in the experiment. Furthermore, the relative stereochemistry in the title compound was confirmed by NMR data. 13C NMR(125 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 175.15(C1), 162.95(C3), 122.08(C2), 77.55(C4), 70.18(C12), 45.60(C11), 35.88(C5), 35.31(C6), 31.68(C10), 28.33(C7), 28.33(C9), 20.17(C8), 18.96(C14), 15.14(C15), 8.93(C13). |
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. |

Senecio laetus Edgew. grows in Guizhou province of China, and is traditionally used by the locals as medicine having effects on clearing fever and detoxifcation and relieving cough activities. As a part of our research on biological resources in the western area in China, the title compound, an eremophilenolide, was isolated. The compound was identified by NMR spectra, which were compared with the previous reports (Wang et al., 2000; Fu et al., 2007). Herewith, we present its crystal structure. The molecule consists of a fused three-ring system A/B/C(Fig.1). The rings A(C10–C6/C11)and B(C6–C3/C12–C11) are cis-fused; the hydroxy group at C12 site has the same β-orientation as the two methyl groups at C10 and C11. Rings A and B both are in chair conformations. The lactone ring has an envelope-like conformation with the atoms C1-C4 and O2 deviating from its mean plane by -0.002 (1), 0.008 (1), -0.010 (1), 0.007 (1) and -0.003 (1), respectively. The inter-molecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds apparently stabilize the crystal structure linking molecules into chains along [1 0 0].
