3-epi-Dammarenediol II 1.075 hydrate: a dammarane triterpene from the bark of Aglaia eximia.

The title dammarane tritepene, 3α,20(S)-dihydroxydammar-24-ene, which crystallized out in a hydrated form, C30H52O2.1.075H2O, was isolated from the Aglaia eximia bark. The three cyclohexane rings adopt chair conformations. The cyclopentane has an envelope conformation with the quaternary C at position 14 as the flap atom with the maximum deviation of 0.288 (2) Å. The methylheptene side chain is disordered over two positions with 0.505 (1):0.495 (1) site occupancies and is axially attached with an (+)-syn-clinal conformation. The hydroxyl group at position 3 of dammarane is in a different conformation to the corresponding hydroxyl in Dammarenediol II. In the crystal, the dammarane and water molecules are linked by ODammarane—H⋯Owater and Owater—H⋯ODammarane hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

(20S)-24,25-Dihydr­oxy-20,24-ep­oxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid from Aglaia smithii

The title compound, C30H50O5, was isolated from the bark of Aglaia smithii. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit that differ in the orientation of the isopropenyl group attached to the cyclohexane ring. The cyclohexane rings in both molecules adopt chair conformations, whereas the cyclopentane and tetrahydrofuran rings adopt envelope conformations. The independent molecules are linked into a layer parallel to (010) by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
