The molecular and crystal structure of d,l-4-methoxy-6-styryl-5,6-dihydro-α-pyrone (kavain)*

Abstract

The crystal structure of kavain, C14H14O3, has been determined by x-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic with space group P21/a. The unit-cell dimensions are a = 23.032 Å, b = 9.430 Å, c = 5.738 Å and β = 104°14′. There are four molecules in the unit cell. The structure was solved by the symbolic-addition method. The refinement was carried out by the block-matrix least-squares calculations including anisotropic temperature factors. The final R value for 1384 observed reflections was 0.076.
