To (2,2',4,4',6,6'-trimethyl-1,1',3,3'-phenylene) tetramethanol (10 mmol, 3.585 mg), in 50 ml of CH3COOH, was added 5 g of KOH. The mixture was stirred and heated at reflux for 24 h. The solution was then filtered, and the filtrate concentrated under vacumn. The sticky solid obtained was recrystalized in a mixture of benzene and acetone (1:1). Colourless prismatic crystals of the title compound were obtained. They were filtered, washed with cool diethylether and air dried.
In the final cycles of
in the absence of significant effects, the 1464 Friedel pairs were merged and Δf" set to zero. All of the H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.960 - 0.970 Å] and refined using a riding model [Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C)].Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2007); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 title compound, illustrated in Fig. 1, was obtained as a byproduct when preparing the first order dendrimer by using 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexamethyl-3,3',5,5''-biphenylene- tetramethanol. The molecule possesses a centre of inversion situated at the center of the bridging C-C bond. The two benzene rings are almost perpendicular to one another, with a dihedral angle of 82.71 (2) °. The geometry and bond distances are close to those observed in similar structures (Frohlich et al., 1985); Moorthy et al., 2002, 2005, 2006a,b; Natarajan et al., 2005a,b; Pickett, 1936).
In the crystal structure of the title compound adjacent molecules have normal hydrophobic contacts with no intercalation or stacking interactions, only C-H···O interactions (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
