(Received 12 April 2013; accepted 15 April 2013; online 20 April 2013)

The title compound, C9H12O5, is a bicyclic lactone, presenting a 2,6-dioxabi­cyclo­[3.3.0]octan-3-one skeleton, which was obtained through an intra­molecular lactonization. The bicyclic lactone presents a cis ring-junction and a 1,5-trans-substituted tetra­hydro­furan. Both five-membered rings are in twisted envelope conformations with one of the fused C atoms as the flap. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the bicyclic lactone residue, defined by the di­hydro­furan-2(3H)-one and the tetra­hydro­furan rings, is 69.5 (2)°. The atoms of the ester chain are coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.013 (2) Å]. The absolute structure was not determined.

Comment top

The 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one skeleton is present in a number of natural products possessing diverse biological activities (Agrawal et al., 2006; Banda et al., 2006; Paddon-Jones et al., 2001). We have described a new methodology for the synthesis of chiral tetrahydrofurans using L-malic acid (Álvarez et al., 2010) as starting material. Using this strategy, a formal synthesis of (7S)-Hagen's gland lactones was achieved by an intramolecular lactonization protocol. These bicyclic lactones can be considered as potential bio-control agents for fruit-fly populations in different countries (Hayes et al., 2003). Analyzing the crystallographic data, it is observed that both five-membered rings are in twisted envelope conformations Fig.1. The pseudorotation parameters P and τ(M), (Rao et al., 1981), for the 5-membered ring containing O2 are P = 334.4 (4)°, τ(M) = 24.3 (2)°, for reference bond C5–C4, the closest pucker descriptor for this is an Envelope on C(5). The pseudorotation parameters P and τ(M) for the 5-membered ring containing O6 are P = 345.0 (4)°, τ(M) = 26.1 (2)°, for the reference bond C1–C8, the closest pucker descriptor for this is an Envelope on C1. The dihedral angle between the main planes of the bicyclic lactone residue is 69.52°. The dihedral angle between the tetrahydrofuran plane and the plane of the ester residue (defined as the C1'-O2'-C3'-C4' atoms) is 55.94°. The C1'-O2'-C3'-C4' atoms of the lateral chain are co-planar.

Experimental top

To a solution of (1R, 5R,7S)-7-hydroxymethyl-2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one (0.158 mmol) in pyridine (226 mL) was added Ac2O (149 mL) and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. MeOH (3 mL) as added and the stirring continued for 20 min. The solvent was evaporated and EtOAc (5 mL) was added. The organic layer was washed with aq Cu2SO4 (3 x 5 mL), dried and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation affording the title compound. It was then recrystallized using EtOAc.

Refinement top

In all compounds H atoms were treated as riding atoms with C—H(primary), 0.97Å, C—H(secondary), 0.98Å with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C)and C—H(methyl), 0.96Å. The positions of the methyl hydrogens was checked on a difference map. Since only C,H and O atoms were present in the molecule the quoted Flack parameter is meaningless and hence the absolute structure could not be determined.

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.
