Trichodermin (12,13-epoxytrichethec-9-en-4β-yl 4-fluorobenzoate)

Abstract

In the title trichodermin compound (systematic name: 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-4β-yl 4-fluorobenzoate), C22H25FO4, the five-membered ring displays an envelope conformation, whereas the two six-membered rings show the different conformations, viz. chair and half-chair. As for the seven-membered ring, the dihedral angle between the mean planes formed by the four C atoms of the envelope unit and the three C and one O atoms of the six-membered chair is 68.67 (2)°; these two mean planes are nearly perpendicular to the epoxy ring with angles of 87.97 (2)and 88.14 (2)°, respectively.
