Abstract The crystal structure of 1,3,6-trihydroxy-2,8-bis (3-methyl-2-butenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-one, Mangostin (C24H26O6) isolated from the fruit hulls of Garcinia mangostana, Guttiferae is reported. The compound crystallizes in space group $$P\bar 1 $$ , with cell parametersa = 11.194(5), b = 13.450(5), c = 9.875(5) Å, α = 108.13(5), β = 108.13(5), γ = 99.64(5)°. The mean planes of the two isoprenyl side chains are oriented at an angle 49.6° in this structure while it is 159.8(2)° in mangostin acetate. The packing of the molecules is due to the solvent mediated network of hydrogen bonds. The conformation and packing of molecules are also different from mangostin acetate.
