The title compound, C16H20O5, was synthesized from ilicic acid [2-(8-hydroxy-4a,8-dimethyldecahydronaphthalen-2-yl)acrylic acid], which was isolated from the chloroform extract of the aerial part of Inula viscose (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia viscosa (L) Greuter]. The molecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings, the epoxidized six-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation while the other ring displays a perfect chair conformation. The features C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

To a solution of 1 g (4 mmol) of 2-(4a,8-Dimethyl-2, 3,4,4a,5,6- hexahydro-naphthalene-2-yl)-acrylic acid methyl ester (2) dissolved in 20 ml acetone is added in small portions three equivalents of chromic anhydride (CrO3) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is left stirring for 1 h, then treated with 20 ml of cold water and extracted three times with 30 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is chromatographed on silica gel eluting with hexane-ethyl acetate (98–2) allowed the isolation in pure the 2 - (1a, 4a-dimethyl-2, 8 -dioxo- octahydro-1-oxa-cycloprop [d] naphthalene-7-yl)-acrylic acid methyl, with a yield of 60% (70 mg, 2.4 mmol). The title compound was recrystallized from its dichloromethane solution at room temperature.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl), 0.97 Å (methylene), 0.98Å (methine) and 0.93 Å (C=CH2) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). In the absence of significant anomalous scatterers, the
could not be reliably determined and Friedel pairs were merged and any references to the were removed.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Oxford Diffraction, 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 > 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 evaluation of medicinals plants and in particular, 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; Chiappini et al., 1982) and has some pharmacological activities (Azoulay et al., 1986). This plant has been the subject of chemical investigation in terms of isolating sesquiterpene lactones (Bohlman et al., 1977), sesquiterpene acids (Ceccherelli et al., 1988; Geissman & Toribio, 1967). The ilicic acid is one of the main components of the dichloromethane extract of the Inula Viscosa (L) Aiton or Dittrichia Viscosa (L) Greuter]. The literature reports one article on the transformation of the ilicic acid (Barrero et al., 2009). In order to prepare products with high added value, that can be used in the pharmacologycal industry, we have studied the reactivity of this sesquiterpene acid. Thus, from this acid, we have prepared by the method of Barrero et al. (2009), 2-(4a,8-Dimethyl-1, 2,3,4,4 a,5,6,7-octahydro naphthalen-2-yl)-acrylic acid methyl ester(1) (Figure 3). The epoxidation of this sesquiterpene by metachloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA), followed by the opening of the epoxide, obtained by Bi(OTf)3 (Tebbaa et al., 2011), leads to the compound (2) with a yield of 40%. The oxidation of the latter with chromic anhydride (CrO3) leads to the title compound with a yield of 60%. The crystal structure of the title compound is escribed herein. The molecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings. The molecular structure (Fig. 1), shows that the two rings adopt different conformations. A perfect chair conformation for the first ring (C1, C4a···C8) as indicated by Cremer & Pople (1975) puckering parameters Q(T)= 0.5561 (19)Å and spherical polar angle θ = 178.35 (18)° with ϕ = 245 (6)°. While the second ring (C1, C4a···C1a) displays a half chair conformation with Q(T) = 0.4303 (19), θ = 47,5(2)° and ϕ = 225,8(3). The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds. (Table 1, Figure 2).
