Compound (II) was prepared from gerberinol (I) using the literature method of Sengupta et al. (1985). A solution of (I) (15 mg) in pyridine (0.5 ml) and acetic anhydride (0.5 ml) was stirred for 2 d at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the pink solid residue obtained was crystallized from CHCl3—CH3OH (1:1 v/v) to afford compound (II) as pink shiny crystals (yield 54%, 8 mg; m.p. 523 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on the parent carbon atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for other H atoms.

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. |

Diospyros canaliculata De Wildeman (Ebenaceae) is a tree up to 15–20 m tall (Letouzey & White, 1970) found throughout the forest zone of West and Central Africa (Jeffreys et al., 1983). The bark extract is poisonous and causes blistering and gangrene round wounds, and is a common ingredient of the Guere (Ivory Coast) arrow poisons (Irvine, 1961). Previous investigation of the stem bark of this plant led to the isolation of gerberinol, (I) (Sengupta et al., 1985; Paknikar et al., 1996; Tangmouo et al., 2005). In the present work, we have undertaken the X-ray structure determination of the title compound, (II) (Sengupta et al., 1985) derived from (I).
The bond lengths in compound (II) show normal values (Allen et al., 1987). The molecule is non-planar, with the outer benzne rings A and E forming a dihedral angle of 30.3 (1)°. The pyranone ring B is planar, with a weighted average absolute torsion angle (τ) of 4.1°. The pyran ring C and pyranone ring D are slightly puckered and adopt twist-boat conformations; the Cremer and Pople (1975) puckering parameters Q, θ and ϕ are 0.185 (2) Å, 82.6 (6)° and 157.0 (8)° for ring C and 0.182 (2) Å, 89.6 (9)° and 30.9 (8)° for the ring D. The C1—C14B—C14A [128.3 (2)°] and C13—C13A—C13B [128.30 (2)°] angles are larger than 120° as a result of steric interactions between the methyl groups at the C1 and C13 positions.
As shown in Fig 1, the C16—H16C···O3 and C15—H15C···O3 hydrogen bonds generate rings of graph-set motif S(6) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O, C—H···π and π···π interactions (Table 1). The π···π interactions involve rings A, B and E of the inversion-related molecules with Cg2···Cg2ii = 3.593 (3) Å, Cg1···Cg1iii = 3.544 (3) Å and Cg3···Cg3iii = 3.790?(4) Å [symmetry codes: (ii) 1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z; (iii) 1 − x, 2 − y, 1 − z; (iii) 1 − x, 1 − y, −z], where Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of rings A, B and E, respectively. The C—H···π interaction involves ring A. A view of the molecular packing is shown in Fig. 2.
