The structure determination of thiomelin (2,4-dichloro-1,8-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methyl-9H-xanthen-9-one) (3), an unusual lichen metabolite probably derived biosynthetically by oxidative ring opening of a precursor anthraquinone, is reported. The crystal structure of thiomelin diacetate (4) was determined by X-ray diffraction, while that of the cogenors 8-O-methylthiomelin (5), 4-dechlorothiomelin (7), 4-dechloro-8- O- methylthiomelin (9), 2-dechloro-8- O- methylthiomelin (10) and 2,4-dichloro-l-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethyl-9H-xanthen-9-one (12) were deduced from spectroscopic data.

In situ cryocrystallisation enabled the crystal structure determination of a homologous series of low-melting n-alkyl methyl esters Cn−1H2n+1CO2CH3.

The isolation and structural elucidation of 3'-(2''-acetyl-3''-hydroxy- 5''-methoxy-4''-methylphenoxy)-2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-5'- methylacetophenone (leprolomin) (12), an unusual lichen metabolite probably derived biogenetically by C-O phenolic coupling of two units of C-methylphloroacetophenone, is reported. Spectroscopic data on leprolomin and its derivatives allowed the structure to be limited to six possibilities; hence the crystal structure of leprolomin triacetate (15) was determined by X-ray diffraction.
