Abstract

The X-ray diffraction structure of (RS)-5,6-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(2-oxopropyl)-(2, 3-methylenedioxyphenyl)-[c]-phenanthridine ((RS)-6-acetonyldihydrochelerythrine), isolated as an artifact from Bocconia Arborea, is reported. This compound crystallizes as orthorhombic system, space group Pna21, with a = 13.216(2) Å, b = 7.6547(10) Å, c = 20.096(3) Å. The phenanthridine central ring presents a distorted boat conformation, which gives rise to two planes with 21.30° between them. The acetonyl group at the six position forms weak C-H ⋯ O and C-H ⋯ π-ring interactions. The title compound was completely characterized in solution by 1H and 13C and 2D NMR experiments.
