9-(para-tert-Butylphenyl)-9-fluorenol

A. W. McLean, C. Y. Meyers and P. D. Robinson

Abstract: The title compound, C₂₃H₂₂O, is composed of two slightly different molecular conformations in its asymmetric unit, one conformation hydrogen bonded to the other via their OH groups. The two molecular conformers are reproduced by an inversion center and hydrogen bonded through an O-H(fluorene) bond, thus producing groups of four hydrogen-bonded molecules. The cooled melted crystals failed to recrystallize, but solution NMR showed that no chemical decomposition had occurred during the melting.
