The title compound known as glycozolidal (systematic name: 2,7-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde), C15H13NO3, is a naturally occurring carbazole, which was isolated from the roots of Clausena lansium. The carbazole ring system is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0093 (1) Å. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into a chain along the c axis. C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5924 (6), 3.6576 (6) and 3.8613 (6) Å, are also observed.

The air dried roots of C. lansium (2.92 kg) were successively extracted with acetone over the period of 3 days at room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide the acetone extract (61.46 g) which was subjected to quick
(QCC) over silica gel and eluted with a gradient of hexanes-EtOAc (100% hexane to 100% EtOAc) to provide eight fractions (A—H). Fraction C (14.79 g) was further separated by sephadex LH-20 with CH3OH to give six subfractions (C1—6). Subfraction C4 (5.70 g) was subjected to repeated QCC using 20% hexanes-EtOAc yielding the title compound (I) (19.6 mg). Yellow block-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray were recrystallized from CH2Cl2/acetone (1:4, v/v) after several days, Mp 469.6–470.7 K.The H atom attached to N1 was located in a difference map and isotropically refined. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å for aromatic and CH, and 0.98 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso(H) values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.69 Å from atom C5 and the deepest hole is located at 0.64 Å from atom C9.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 120.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Carbazole alkaloids are major compounds found in Rutaceae plants, especially in Clausena genus (Laphookhieo et al., 2009; Li et al., 1991; Maneerat et al., 2010; Sripisut & Laphookhieo, 2010; Tangyuenyongwatthana et al., 1992) which showed diverse pharmacological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-malaria, anti-TB and anti-HIV (Kongkathip & Kongkathip, 2009; Yenjai et al., 2000; Thongthoom et al., 2010) properties. During the course of our on-going research on chemical constituents and bioactive compounds from Clausena plants (Maneerat et al., 2010; Maneerat & Laphookhieo, 2010; Sripisut & Laphookhieo, 2010), the title compound (I) which was known as glycozolidal (Li et al., 1991) was isolated from the roots of C. lansium which was collected from Nan province in the northern part of Thailand. Herein the isolation and crystal structure of (I) was reported.
In the structure of (I), C15H13NO3 (Fig. 1), the carbazole ring system (C1–C12/N1) is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0093 (1) Å. The aldehyde substituent is planarly attached to the benzene ring which can be indicated by the torsion angle C4–C3–C14–O2 = -3.35 (16)°. whereas the two methoxy groups are slightly deviated from their attached benzene rings with the torsion angles C13–O1–C2–C1 = -6.03 (14)° and C15–O3–C6–C7 = 13.32 (13)°. The bond lengths and angles in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable to the related structures (Fun et al., 2007, 2009, 2010).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), N—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1) connected the molecules into one dimensional chains along the [0 0 1] direction. The crystal is consolidated by short N···O [2.9758 (11) Å] contact, as well as by N—H···O hydrogen bonds, C—H···O and C—H···π (Table 1) and π–π interactions with the distances of Cg1···Cg1iv = 3.8613 (6) Å Cg1···Cg2iv = 3.5924 (6) Å and Cg2···Cg3iv = 3.6576 (6) Å [symmetry code: (iv) 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1 - z; Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the C9–C12/N1, C1–C4/C11/C12 and C5–C10 rings, respectively]. .
