A new azaanthracene alkaloid, namely 9,10-dimethoxy-4-methyl-1,2-dihydro-1-
azaanthracen-2-one (kalasinamide), C16H15NO3,has been isolated from the ste
ms of Polyalthia suberosa collected in the northeastern part of Thailand. E
ach of the aromatic rings in the molecule is planar within +/- 0.021 (2) An
gstrom. Molecules are linked to form centrosymmetric dimers by N-H ... O hy
drogen bonds [N ... O 2.941 (4) Angstrom].
