The title flavonoid [systematic name: (2S)-7-hydr­oxy-5-meth­oxy-6,8-dimethyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro­chromen-4(2H)-one], C18H18O4, displays statistical conformational disorder, with three conformations of the mol­ecule involving three orientations of the phenyl ring and two orientations of the fused heterocyclic ring. The conformational disorder is correlated with the isomerization equilibrium between the flavanone and chalcone forms. The conformational behaviour has a potential impact on the biological activity of this class of compounds. Moreover, [pi] stacking inter­actions at van der Waals distances are present between the aromatic rings of chroman-4-one groups of symmetry-related mol­ecules. Apart from these [pi]-[pi] inter­actions, mol­ecules are linked by strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds between hydr­oxy and carbonyl groups.

Comment top

Flavonoids are of interest because of their antioxidant activity (Pietta, 2000). However, it is now known that the health benefits they provide against cancer and heart disease are the result of other mechanisms (Dixon, 1999; Rice-Evans et al., 1996). More than 5000 different flavonoids have been characterized from various plants and classified according to their chemical structure (Ververidis et al., 2007). Flavanones are one of the subgroups. The title compound, (I), is a natural flavanone isolated from the leaves of the South American tree Couroupita guianensis. It was previously reported as an antihyperglycaemic agent (Hanshella et al., 2005).

The two most similar structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen, 2002), (-)-6-bromocryptostrobin (Byrne et al., 1982) and 6,8-dimethylpinocembrin (Tanrisever et al., 1987), contain a disordered phenyl group. In our case, it was necessary to include three different disordered conformations (labeled A, B and C in Fig. 1) involving three orientations of the phenyl ring and two orientations of the connected cyclohexyl ring in order to obtain a good refinement. According to the (1 - x, -y, 1 - z) symmetry operation, conformation A by itself would exhibit overly short intermolecular contacts. Obviously these contacts cannot be real and we must consider these three conformations to correspond to a statistical disorder behaviour (Fig. 2a). The classical Cremer & Pople (1975) analysis of the heterocyclic nonplanar ring gives the ring-puckering parameters ϕ = 286.6 (5)° and θ = 53.9 (5)° and the puckering amplitude Q = 0.498 (5) Å for conformations A and C, and ϕ = 87.9 (10)°, θ = 131.0 (10)° and Q = 0.521 (13) Å for conformation B. Thus the ring conformation varies between the envelope (E) for A and C and the symmetrical half-chair (H) for B. Such a pattern of conformational equilibrium for flavanone derivatives has been described in solution (Toth et al., 2001) but not in the solid state as far we could find for previously reported flavanone derivatives. This behaviour seems to be associated with the isomerization equilibrium between the flavanone and chalcone forms (Gonzalez et al., 2002). On this basis, (I) should be a good precursor for the chalcone opened chemical form, which has been reported as an antitumor agent (Ye et al., 2005).

The structures of a number of flavanones (derived from 2,3-dihydro-2-phenylchromen-4-one) have been reported to the CSD. We can estimate the concordance between some internal geometric parameters of our structure and the data from 82 structures that include the flavanone chemical skeleton. In Fig. 3 we can see good concordance between some torsion angle values of the two statistical conformations A and C of (I). It is of note that each torsion angle displays a bimodal distribution, indicating that the two conformations of the above-mentioned heterocyclic nonplanar ring are almost equally probable in flavanones. This behaviour suggests that the involved bonds are in movement, hence the isomerization equilibrium should be usual for flavanones.

The molecules of (I) are linked by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy group of one molecule and the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent molecule to form chains running along the b axis (Fig. 2b). The crystal stability of (I) seems to be enhanced by intermolecular weak interactions. Classical ππ contacts are present between the aromatic rings of neighbouring chroman-4-one groups (Table 3). These interactions generate stacked molecules running almost parallel to the [001] crystal plane (Fig. 2c). This type of interaction seems to be common in flavanones since 11 of the 82 structures in the CSD display geometric parameters giving optimal ππ binding energy (McGaughey et al., 1998), i.e. the aromatic rings stack almost parallel (with a dihedral angle between stacking planes of less than 1°) with centroid–ring distances less than 4 Å as in (I).

The strategy of self-assembly through these weak and strong interactions is of central importance for efficient and specific biological reactions, and for the design of new supramolecules possessing interesting physical or chemical properties. As an example, despite the fact that (I) exhibits a high degree of disorder, the crystals were stable and their diffraction was good. This behaviour has encouraged us to undertake a polymorph screening, in order to obtain different types of solid state and, therefore, different types of biochemical behaviour. Such studies will be reported in future publications.

Refinement top

The hydroxy atom H21 was located in a difference map and refined isotropically. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and included as riding atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.95–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) values of 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(C). It was necessary to include a disordered model with three orientations, designated A, B and C, at occupancies of 43, 30 and 27%, respectively. Geometric calculations: PLATON (Spek, 2003).

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.
