Hydrogen-bonded assemblages in 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-R-phenol, with R = methyl, methoxy, phenoxy and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl

B. Masci and P. Thuéry

Abstract: Four derivatives of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)phenol, with various para substituents, have been investigated; these are 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylphenol, C₉H₁₂O₃, (I), 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxyphenol, C₉H₁₂O₄, (II), 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-phenoxyphenol, C₁₄H₁₄O₄, (III), and 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]phenol, C₁₈H₂₂O₄, (IV). All four structures display hydrogen-bonding networks resulting in sheets, with possible weak inter-sheet [bold pi] - interactions in one case. In all the structures but one, the molecules form centrosymmetric dimeric subunits held together by two hydrogen bonds between the hydroxymethyl groups and, in two cases, by probable - interactions.

Formula: C₉H₁₂O₃, C₉H₁₂O₄, C₁₄H₁₄O₄ and C₁₈H₂₂O₄
