The title compound, C12H14O6, a substituted isophthalic acid monoester which was isolated from the lichen Thamnolia vermicularis var. subuliformis, displays intramolecular carboxyl–methoxy O—H⋯O and hydroxy–carboxyl O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The terminal methyl group of the ethyl ester is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.599 (19) and 0.401 (19).

Extraction of the title compound. The air-dried and powdered plant materials (5 kg) were extracted by 95% EtOH (3 times, 20L) at room temperature and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was partitioned with petroleum ether (PE) and EtOAc,successively. The EtOAc extract (47 g) was chromatographed on a silica gel column eluted successively with PE-EtOAc/ EtOAc–MeOH to afford six major fractions. Fraction 3 eluted with PE-EtOAc (1:3) was further purified by silica gel
[CHCl3-MeOH (15:1)] and then Sephadex LH-20 using MeOH (100%) to yield the title compound (200 mg). The solvent was removed in vacuo to give colorless crystals (m.p. 435–437 K). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 12.6 (1H, s, OH), 11.2 (1H, s, COOH), 6.34 (1H, s), 4.4 (2H, q, CH2), 4.08 (3H, s, CH3), 2.37 (3H, s, CH3), 1.39 (3H, t, CH3). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.Hydroxy and carboxylic acid H-atoms were located in a difference-Fourier analysis and both positional and isotropic displacement parameters were refined. Other H-atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 Å (for aromatic H) or 0.96 or 0.97 Å (for methyl or methylene H-atoms respectively) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). Disorder in the terminal methyl group (C12) of the ethyl ester resulted in the
at two sites with occupancies of 0.599 (19) (C12) and 0.401 (19) (C12').Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2003); cell

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. |

The title compound, C12H14O6, a substituted isophthalic acid monoester, is one of the phenol compounds isolated from the lichen Thamnolia vermicularis var.subuliformis (Jiang et al., 2002; Milenkovic-Andjelkovic, 2010). The X-ray structural analysis of this compound reported here confirms the assignment of its structure determined from experimental spectroscopic data. In the molecule (Fig. 1), intramolecular carboxylic acid O—H···Omethoxy and hydroxy O—H···Ocarboxyl hydrogen -bonding interactions (Table 1) result in the formation of two six-membered rings. In the crystal (Fig. 2), no significant hydrogen-bonding interactions are found. The terminal methyl group of the ethyl ester is disordered over two sites with occupancies 0.599:0.401.
