Abstract:
Objective To revise the structure of hemerocallin, an active and toxic compound isolated from the roots of Hemerocallis fulva, which was first reported in 1974 based on the chemical and spectral data. Methods The structure of acetyl hemerocallin was determined through the acetyl derivative preparing and X-ray diffraction. Results The title compound acetyl hemerocallin (1) has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction method. X-ray analysis revealed that the two naphthalene rings in compound 1 were significantly twisted with an average dihedral angle of 44.1°. The two acetate groups in each naphthalene ring adopted anti-parallel conformation. In addition, the π-π stacking interactions were found in the crystal structure, the molecules were linked into a supramolecular network, and the crystal structure was stabilized. Conclusion The structure of hemerocallin is identified as 2,2′-bi(1,8-dihydroxy-6-methyl-7-acetylnaphthalene) (3)
