Abstract

The pyridine ring in the title compound, C(39)H(47)NO(7)·0.5C(2)H(5)OH·0.5 H(2)O, is connected to one 3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-1,8-dioxoxanthenyl and one 4a-hy-droxy-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-1,8-dioxodeca-hydroxanthenyl substituent in the 2- and 6-positions of the ring. In the former substituent, the six-membered xanthenyl ring adopts a flattened envelope conformation (with the methine C atom as the flap) while in the latter, the six-membered xanthenyl ring adopts a twisted envelope conformation (with the C atom bearing the hy-droxy group representing the flap). The hy-droxy H atom forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to the pyridyl N atom. An ethanol solvent mol-ecule is disordered with respect to a water mol-ecule in a 1:1 ratio. The water mol-ecule itself is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy.
