Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₃₈H₃₃NO, shows that the OH group interacts with the N atom of the dimethylamino group via an intramolecular hydrogen bond, resulting in the formation of a seven-membered ring. The presence of this interaction, the poor nucleofugal properties of the hydroxy function and the particularly high steric hindrance decrease the ability of the OH group for substitution by other nucleophiles. The crystal packing exhibits no classical intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
