چکیده
The title compound, C15H24O2 {systematic name: 1-[6-hy-droxy-7-(propan-2-yl)-4-methyl-idene-2,3,3a,4,5,6,7,7a-octa-hydro-1H-inden-1-yl]ethanone} was iso-la-ted from A. reticulata by column chromatography over silica gel by gradient solvent elution. The mol-ecule comprises a bi-cyclo-[4.3.0]nonane ring bearing acet-oxy, hy-droxy and isopropyl substituents, and an exocyclic double bond on the cyclo-hexane ring. In the bicyclic skeleton, the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation ring and the cyclo-pentane ring is in an envelope conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. These chains are cross-linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
