4a-Hy­droxy-9-(2-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8,9,9a-octa­hydro-3H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione

In the title compound, C(20)H(22)O(5), an S(6) ring motif is formed by an intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which contributes to the stabilization of the mol­ecule. In the xanthene system, the cyclo­hexane ring adopts a chair conformation, the cyclo­hexene ring adopts a half-boat conformation and the tetra­hydro­pyran ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The mean plane of the four essentially planar atoms of the tetra­hydro­pyran ring [r.m.s deviation = 0.092 (1) Å] forms a dihedral angle of 64.13 (6)° with the mean plane of the meth­oxy­phenyl group. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into chains along the a axis, which are further stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
