Abstract top

In the title compound, C23H28O6, the mean planes of the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 81.1 (2)°. A twofold rotation axis passes through the central C atom. The molecules are connected into chains via intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Bisphenol A is an intermediate in the production of polycarbonate and epoxy resins, flame retardants, and other specialty products. It is moderately soluble and appears to be released into the environment through its use (Staples et al., 1998). Crystal engineering using bisphenol A derivatives has received attention (Ferguson et al., 1999). In the course of our studies on bisphenol A derivatives, we have synthesized and determined the structure of the title compound (Fig. 1). In the crystal, the mean planes of the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 81.1 (2) °. Intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

To a solution of bisphenol A (0.01 mol) in acetonitrile (50 ml), anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.02 mol) and ethyl 4-bromobutanoate were added (0.01 mol). The solution was refluxed for 6 h and then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in water/ethanol (1:2 v/v), then sodium hydroxide (0.02 mol) was added. The solution was refluxed for 24 h, then acidified with dilute HCl. The crude product that precipitated was filtered off and crystals of the title compound (m.p. 458 K) were obtained by recrystallization from a mixture of water and ethanol (1:1). Elemental analysis calculated: C 68.98, H 7.05%; found: C 68.96, H 7.09%.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in idealized locations with C—H = 0.93—0.97 Å or O—H = 0.82 Å and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

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 > 2sigma(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.
