7-(Hydroxy-meth-yl)-2-(1-hydr-oxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-4-meth-oxy-2,3-dihydro-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-5-one methanol hemisolvate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound (cimifugin), C(16)H(18)O(6)·0.5CH(3)OH, was isolated from the rhizome of Actaea asiatica Hara. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules and a solvent methanol mol-ecule. The five-numbered ring adopts an envelope conformation in each molecule. Intra- and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal structure.
