In the title molecule, C16H20O5, the two 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one units are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0183 (2) and 0.0134 (2) Å for the non-H atoms, and make dihedral angles of 81.20 (10) and 84.44 (10)° with the central furan ring. The dihedral angle between these two side units is 22.06 (9)°. Two intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate two S(6) ring motifs. A weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interaction is also observed.

Ethanol (30 ml) was converted to sodium ethoxide by portionwise addition of sodium (0.46 g, 0.02 mole) before a solution of diethyl oxalate (2.92 g, 0.02 mole) and 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylfuran (1.38 g, 0.01 mole) in ethanol (30 ml) was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 4 h. After cooling, the solvent was removed and the residue was taken up in water (100 ml) and acidified with concentrated HCl (3 ml). The aqueous mixture was extracted with diethylether (3 × 100 ml), dried over MgSO4. The obtained solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound. Colorless block-shaped single crystals suitable for an X-ray structural analysis was obtained by slowly evaporating from ethanol at room temperature.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with d(O—H) = 0.82 Å and d(C—H) = 0.96 Å. The Uiso(H) values were constrained to be 1.2Ueq of the
for hydroxy H atoms and 1.5Ueq for the methyl H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Cancer is a disease of striking significance in the world today. It represents the second leading cause of human mortality after cardiovascular diseases. In order to develop more effective and reliable anticancer agents, a large number of compounds carrying oxygen or nitrogen heterocyclic skeletons have been discovered particularly and many of them exhibited excellent anticancer activities (Alqasoumi et al., 2010; Al-Said et al., 2010; Ghorab et al., 2001; Ghorab, Ragab et al., 2012). On the other hand, furan derivatives are important biologically active compounds showing anticancer activity. From the literature survey, it was found that furan derivatives have been intensively studied for their interesting pharmacological properties such as anticancer activity (Abdel-Hamid et al., 2011). In the light of these facts, and as a continuation of our research (Al-Said et al., 2011; Ghorab, Al-Said & El-Hossary, 2011; Ghorab, Ragab et al., 2011), the present investigation reports the design and synthesis of the title novel furan derivative (I) with the hope that this new compound might show significant anticancer activity. Herein its crystal structure is reported.
In Fig. 1, the molecule of (I), C16H20O5, has a ladder-like structure with the 3,5-dimethylfuran moiety in the middle between the two nearly parallel side chains of 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one moieties. The two units of 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one are planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0183 (2) and 0.0134 (2) Å for the seven non H atoms C5–C9/O2/O3 and C11–C15/O4/O5, respectively. Intramolecular O3—H3···O2 and O5—H5···O4 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) generate two S(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) which help to stabilize the planarity of these units. The C5—C8 [1.403 Å] and C11—C14 [1.386 Å] bond lengths are slightly longer than the usual C═C double bond. However, the angles around atoms C5, C8, C11 and C14 [114.2-123.2 °] indicate the sp2 hybridization of these atoms. The furan ring makes the dihedral angles of 81.20 (10) and 84.44 (10)° with the mean planes of C5–C9/O2/O3 and C11–C15/O4/O5, respectively. Whereas the dihedral angle between these two planes is 22.06 (9)°. The two methyl groups are co-planar with the furan ring with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0143 (2) Å for the seven non H atoms C1–C4/C10/C16/O1. The bond distances in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The crystal is consolidated by weak C···H···O interactions (Table 1). Even there is no hydrogen bond in the crystal packing but the crystal packing was shown in Fig. 2 to show the arrangement of the molecules.
