1-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-10-methylacridin-9-one

Abstract

There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H15NO4, which was isolated from fruits of Zanthoxylum leprieurii. The atoms of the three rings of each molecule are close to coplanar with the largest deviations from the least-squares planes being 0.084 (3) Å and 0.069 (2) Å. Each molecule features an intramolecular O—H...·O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, C—H...·O hydrogen-bonding interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
