2,6-Dimethoxyphenol, (1), was synthesized according to the literature procedure of Wu et al. (1997). To a basic acetone solution of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (0.35 g, 2 mmol) was added K2CO3 (0.14 g); a solution of 3-bromoprop-1-ene (15 ml) in acetone was then added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 308 K for 5 h, filtered and purified by column chromatography on silical gel, using petroleum–ethyl acetate (3:2 (v/v), to give compound (2) (0.30 g, 1.5 mmol). Product (2) (0.19 g, 1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF, 20 ml) was refluxed for 1 h at 393 K and then cooled to room temperature. To the solution was added hydrobromic acid (5 ml, 6 M) and the mixture stirred for 1 h. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and subsequent purification by flash chromatography (using acetone as eluent) afforded compound (4) (0.15 g, 0.5 mmol). The hydroxyl group of compound (4) was protected with acetic andydride, yielding compound (5). To a solution of (5) in THF (20 ml) was added sodium (0.07 g) and the mixture was refluxed for 12 h at 323 K to afford the title compound, (I). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol.
H atoms were positioned geometrically (methyl C—H = 0.96 Å, methylene C—H = 0.97 Å, methine C—H = 0.98 Å, aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å and hydroxy O—H = 0.82 Å) and included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier atom), where x = 1.5 for methyl and hydroxy, and x = 1.2 for the others. In the absence of significant anomalous dispersion effects, Friedel pairs were averaged.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The mechamism of phenol oxidation by tyrosinase has been well studied (Krol & Bolton, 1997). However, little work has been done to determine the influence of substituents on the reaction. Recently, we have synthesized the title compound, (I), and its crystal structure is reported here.
Compound (I) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pc, with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the molecular structure (Fig. 1 and Table 1), the two molecules have similar geometric parameters about the two chiral centres, C10 and C22; the bond lengths and angles are unremarkable. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds, with the phenol groups acting as donors and the ether O atoms as acceptors (Table 2). These hydrogen bonds link the molecules into double chains (Fig. 2).
