J. Shuai, Y. Liu, M. Liu and D. Liu

Abstract: The title compound, crystallized as a methanol solvate, C₁₈H₂₀O₂·CH₃OH, is an intermediate in the synthesis of the antilipidemic agent clinofibrate. Molecules are packed together with the methanol solvent molecule via two O-HO hydrogen bonds. The third O-HO hydrogen bond is between neighboring 4,4'-(cyclohexane-1,1-diyl)diphenol molecules. The dihedral angle between two benzene rings planes is 81.69 (6).
