erythro-2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-propanediol

V. Langer and K. Lundquist

Abstract: In the crystals of the title lignin model compound, C₂₀H₂₆O₈, the molecules adopt a conformation in which the bulky 2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl groups are distant from each other. The O(phenoxy)-C-C-C(phenyl) torsion angle between these groups is 178.58  (7)°. The hydrogen-bonding pattern is discussed in terms of graph-set theory.
