The structures of three methoxybenzenes, namely 1,2-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzene, C8H9NO4, (I), 1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-nitrobenzene, C9H11NO5, (II), and 1-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1-butanone, C13H18O4, (III), are reported. Molecules of (I) and (III) are planar, but one of the three methoxy groups of (II) is twisted out of the phenyl ring plane as a result of steric hindrance. In all three solids, the molecules are linked to form centrosymmetrically hydrogen-bonded dimers; they are packed in parallel layers in (I) and (II), but in zigzag layers in (III).

A series of homologues of α-asarone (1), containing variable size and functionality on the side chain attached to the aromatic ring, has been subjected to a study of structure-activity relationship. For most of the prepared derivatives, either with a carbonyl (8a-8e), a hydroxy group (9a-9e), or with a conjugated double bond (10a-10d), significant effects on serum lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were displayed. The results showed an enhancement of the hypocholesterolemic activity as the length of the chain is decreased. Theoretical conformational and electrostatic potential analyses of 1 and olefins 10 suggest unfavorable steric interactions in the bulky superior side-chain homologues as the deactivating biological effect.
