Structure of the flavone hymenoxin.
2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-dimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-o ne, C19H18O8, Mr = 374.38, monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 9.026(4), b = 15.054(6), c = 12.829(6) A, beta = 100.98(4) degrees, V = 1711(1) A3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.450 g cm-3, lambda (Mo K alpha) = 0.71073 A, mu = 1.07 cm-1, F(000) = 784, T = 295 K, R = 0.0778 for 2280 independent reflections. The nearly planar AB ring system (0.04 A r.m.s.d.), O(1) to C(10), and the planar C ring (0.001 A r.m.s.d.) are almost coplanar with an interplanar angle of only 4.4(4) degrees. The methyl groups at C(6) and C(8) are rotated out of the molecular plane on opposite sides with torsion angles C(5)C(6)O(6)C(11) = -94.5(4) and C(7)C(8)O(8)C(12) = 109.0(4) degrees. The methyl groups of ring C are coplanar with the ring, C(3')C(4')O(4')"(13) = 0.2(5) and C(6')C(5')O(5')C(14) = 1.3(5) degrees. The carbonyl group forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with O(5), O(5)...O(4) = 2.612(5), H(5O)...O(4) = 1.85(4) A, O(5)-H(5O)...O(4) = 151.9(8) degrees, and an intermolecular hydrogen bond with O(7) of an adjacent molecule, O(7)...O(4) (-0.5 + x, -0.5 - y, 0.5 + z) = 2.689(5), H(7O)...O(4) = 1.92(4) A, and O(7)-H(7O)...O(4) = 163.2(8) degrees.
