In the crystal of the title compound, C14H23BO4, centrosymmetric dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. The dimers are linked via C—H⋯O contacts, generating a two-dimensional array parallel to (12). These are interconnected by weak O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C—H⋯π interactions.

Crystals were grown by slow evaporation of a hexane/acetone (10 ml, 1:1) solution of (I) (Aldrich, 0.3 g).
Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, and were included in the
in the riding model approximation with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). The H1o and H2o atoms were refined without constraint; O—H distances = 0.839 (15) and 0.876 (16) Å.Data collection: CrysAlis CCD (Oxford Diffraction, 2005); cell

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 F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The ability of arylboronic acids to form supramolecular assemblies due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding is well known. Our interest has focused on ortho-alkoxy derivatives and the influence of various factors (including the number and length of the alkoxy group) on their structural behaviour. The molecular structure of (I) shows the boronic groups possesses an exo-endo conformation and is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring, Fig. 1. However, the entire molecule including both butoxy groups remains essentially planar. The endo-oriented OH group is engaged in an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond with the 2-butoxy-O atom, resulting in the formation of a six-membered ring, Table 1. This motif is generally typical of ortho-alkoxyarylboronic acids structures (Yang et al., 2005; Dąbrowski et al., 2006, 2008; Luliński, 2008). The supramolecular assembly of (I) is similar to that observed previously for 2,4-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid (Yang et al., 2005). Centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers of (I) are linked by weaker C—H···O contacts, of which there are two types (Table 1). The first one connects the terminal methyl of the 2-butoxy group with the O atom of the adjacent molecule whereas the second one is formed between the γ-methylene unit of the 4-butoxy group and the O atom of the exo-OH group. As a result a 2-D array is formed, aligned parallel to the (121) plane. The supramolecular architecture extends further due to other interactions. They involve weak cross-linking O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the endo-OH group and the O atom of exo-OH group from the neighbouring layer. Finally, C—H···π interactions occur between the α-methylene units of 2-butoxy as well as 4-butoxy groups and the aromatic ring of another molecule; the distances of H7B and H7B' from the ring centroid are 2.7363 (4)Å [symmetry code (vi): -1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] and 2.8035 (5)Å [symmetry code (vii): 1 + x, y, 1 + z], respectively. As a result, a 3-D network is formed. In conclusion, the hydrogen-bonded dimeric structure of (I) is typical of boronic acids whereas the unique secondary supramolecular assembly is achieved due to weaker hydrogen bonds and C—H-π interactions.
