The title compound, C 38 H 50 O 6 , also known as guttiferone A, was isolated from the medicinal plant Symphonia globulifera . It is a benzophenone derivative where one aryl group is derivatized to give a bicyclic system which has two prenyl groups attached to the bridgehead. One of the cyclohexane rings in the bicyclic system is in a chair form, while the other has a distorted half-chair conformation. In addition to an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into one-dimensional chains.
