Co-crystal Structure of 11-Hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-6H-chromeno[3,4-b]chromen-12-one and 11-Hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-chromeno[3,4-b]chromene-6,12-dione

Abstract

A 1:1 co-crystal structure of 11-hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-6H-chromeno[3,4-b]chromen-12-one and 11-hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-chromeno[3,4-b]chromene-6,12-dione (stemonone) was crystallized from the reaction mixture of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal and methanesulfonyl chloride, and its structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction. This co-crystal crystallizes in a triclinic crystal system, space group P(−1) with unit cell parameters of a = 8.1317(3) A, b = 9.8224(4) A, c = 10.7268(3) A, α = 78.116(1)°, β = 77.463(1)°, γ = 77.140(1)°, Z = 2 and V = 804.11(3) A3. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F 2 to final values of R 1 = 0.0501 and wR 2 = 0.1520. A 1:1 co-crystal structure of 11-hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-6H-chromeno[3,4-b]chromen-12-one and 11-hydroxy-2,3,9-trimethoxy-chromeno[3,4-b]chromene-6,12-dione (stemonone) is reported.
