The title compound, C24H30O5, is the didehydro product of the steroid hellebrigenin (systematic name: 3β,5,14-trihydroxy-19-oxo-5β-bufa-20,22-dienolide). It consists of three cyclohexane rings (A, B and C), a five-membered ring (D) and a six-membered lactone ring (E). The stereochemistry of the ring junctions are A/B cis, B/C trans and C/D cis. Cyclohexane rings A, B and C have normal chair conformations. The five-membered ring D with the C=C bond adopts an envelope conformation. Lactone ring E is essentially planar with a mean derivation of 0.006 (4) Å and is β-oriented at the C atom of ring D to which it is attached. There is an O—H...O hydrogen bond in the molecule involving the hydroxy groups. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains propagating along [010]. The chains are linked by C—H...O contacts into a three-dimensional network.

AbstractRaman spectra of tryptophan and tyrosine polycrystals have been analyzed in a wide spectral range by fiber-optic spectroscopy. The Raman spectra have been recorded with a BWS465-785H spectrometer in the spectral range of 0–2700 cm^–1 using a 785-nm cw laser as an excitation source. Parameters of the Raman spectra are compared for three crystalline phase modifications of aromatic amino acids: left-handed, right-handed, and racemic phase. The presence of strong Raman satellites, the characteristics of which change depending on the type of the chiral phase state of amino acid, is found in the low-frequency Raman spectra of tryptophan and tyrosine amino acid lattices. The results obtained can be used for monitoring the chiral purity of bioactive preparations containing amino acids.

In the title compound, C17H12O4, the benzoate ring is oriented at an acute angle of 60.14 (13)° relative to the coumarin plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.006 Å). This conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O weak hydrogen bond, which forms a five-membered ring. Also present are π–π stacking interactions between neighbouring pyrone and benzene rings [centroid-to-centroid distances in the range 3.6286 (1)–3.6459 (1) Å] and C=O...π interactions [O...centroid distances in the range 3.2938 (1)–3.6132 (1) Å]. Hirshfeld surface analysis has been used to confirm and quantify the supramolecular interactions.

Homocysteine is a non-proteinogenic sulfur-containing amino acid. Like cysteine, it can form disulfide bridges and complex metallic cations. It is also closely related to methionine, the first amino acid in the synthesis of all contemporary proteins. Furthermore, its cyclized form, a five-membered ring thiolactone, is stable in acidic and neutral water. Here, we demonstrate that this thiolactone may have been formed in the primitive ocean directly from the Strecker precursor of homocysteine, an aminonitrile. Even though it is poorly reactive, this thiolactone may be open by some amines, yielding amides which, in turn, could be the precursors of longer peptides.
