The title compound, C 16 H 26 O 5 , a derivative of the antimalaria compound artesunate, consists primarily of three substituted ring systems fused together. A cyclohexane ring (distorted chair configuration) fused to a tetrahydropyran group (normal chair) is adjacent to an oxacycloheptane unit containing an endoperoxide bridge, giving the molecule a unique three‐dimensional arrangement.
