Crystal structure of 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(hy-droxy-methyl)-phenol.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C₁₅H₂₄O₂, is an example of a phenol-based pendant-arm precursor. In the mol-ecule, the phenol hy-droxy group participates in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the pendant alcohol group, forming an S(6) ring. This ring adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol-ecules related by the 3₁ screw axes, forming chains along the c axis. The C-C-O angles for the hy-droxy groups are different as a result of the type of hybridization for the C atoms that are involved in these angles. The C-C-O angle for the phenol hy-droxy group is 119.21 (13)°, while the angle within the pendant alcohol is 111.99 (13)°. The bond length involving the phenolic oxygen is 1.3820 (19) Å, which c
