Abstract The X-ray crystal structure of glechomafuran (1β,10α,4α,5β-diepoxy-7,8-furanogermacrane), a natural product obtained from seeds ofSmyrnium olusatrum L., has been determined in order to establish the correct relative configuration of the molecule. Crystals are monoclinic, space groupP21 witha=6.785(4),b=12.325(9),c=16.390(6) Å,β=97.89(4)°, and four molecules in the unit cell. The two epoxides are found to be α,β-attached, and the associated methyl groups are positionedsyn to each other. The furan ring is essentially flat, and shows no evidence of any double bond delocalization.
