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—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The third O—H⋯O 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).

A mixture of cyclohexanone (196.g, 0.2 mol) and phenol (37,6 g, 0.4 mol) in hydrochloric acid (40 ml) and glacial acetic acid (20 ml) was heated at 328 K for 12 h. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, and the resultant precipitates were collected by filtration. The filtrates were dissolved in acetone (200 ml); the solutions decolorize by active carbon, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed by toluene (20 ml) to get white powder. The powder was dissolved in methanol and standing under 277 K, then the white crystals were generated slowly.
All the H atoms was located on their parent atoms with C—H=0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3), and O—H=0.82 (Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(O)), thereafter refined isotropically.

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. |

Clinofibrate is an anti-lipidemic agent which is effective for the treatment of decreasing Blood lipid (Nishizawa et al., 1993). 4,4'-(cyclohexane-1,1-diyl)diphenol is an important intermediate in the synthesis of clinofibrate (Zimmerman et al., 1974). A similar structure, 4, 4'-(cyclohexane-1,1-diyl)diphenol±3-chlorophenol and 4, 4'-(cyclohexane-1,1-diyl)diphenol±4-chlorophenol (Nassimbeni et al., 2007), has been reported previously. Now we present the crystal structure of the title compound(I). The molecules of (I) are crystallized with the solvent molecule methanol (Fig. 1.). Adjacent molecules of (I) are linked via intermolecular O—H···O interactions between the O1—H1 and O2 from a neighboring molecule. The other two H bonds (O2—H2···O3 and O3—H3···O1) are formed between methanol and two neighboring (I) (Table 1.). Planar molecules are usually stabilized by π–π intermolecular interactions. However, (I) is not planar (the dihedral angle between two benzene rings planes is 81.69 (6)°), indicating an absence of π–π coupling.
