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

V. Langer, S. Li and K. Lundquist

Abstract: In the crystals of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₄O₈, the molecules adopt a conformation in which the bulky 2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl groups are distant from each other. The O(phenoxy)-C-C-C(phenyl) torsion angle between these groups is -177.27  (10)°. The conformation is compared with those of related lignin model compounds. The hydrogen-bonding pattern is discussed in terms of graph-set theory.
