The title compound, C19H16O2, was isolated as the major product after the solid-state of 2-methoxy-4,4-diphenylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone. The dihedral angles between the central ring and pendant benzene rings are 60.76 (6) and 51.64 (6)°. The O—C vector of the methoxy group is almost perpendicular to the plane of the central ring as indicated by the C—C—O—C torsion angle of 94.89 (18)°. Hydrogen-bonded dimers are formed in the via O—H⋯O interactions. The data were collected at room temperature on a Bruker SMART X2S diffractometer in the automated mode and processed manually thereafter.

Solid state photolysis of 2-methoxy-4,4-diphenyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone (II) was studied as follows.
A thin film of (II) (0.30 g, 0.001 mol) was irradiated under nitrogen for 18 h through a CuSO4 filter with a 400 watt medium pressure mercury lamp. The lamp was surrounded by a water-cooled immersion jacket and a cylindrical flask. The film of (II) was deposited on the inner wall of the outer flask (4 cm from the lamp) by slow evaporation of its dichloromethane solution and was dried before photolysis under nitrogen for 2 h. The resulting orange solid was chromatographed (silica gel 2.5 cm x 37 cm), eluted with hexane-CH2Cl2 (2:3) to give the following: band 1, 2-methoxy-4,5-diphenylphenol (III); band 2, 2-methoxy-3,4-diphenylphenol (I), band 3, 6-methoxy-5,6-diphenyl-2,4-cyclohexadienone (IV). The unreacted (band 4) cyclohexadienone (II) (0.10 g, 33%) was separated by using CH2Cl2—CH3OH (9:1) elution (Scheme 1).

6-Methoxy-5,6-diphenyl-2,4-cyclohexadienone (IV) (Band 3): This was recrystallized from CH2Cl2-hexane mixture. Yield = 15 mg, 5%; mp 467–469 K (Literature mp 469–471 K (Matoba et al.,1985). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 3.66 (s, 3H, OCH3), 5.56 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H), 5.88 (d, J = 9.9 Hz, 1H), 7.15–7.29 (m, 11H) p.p.m.; 13C NMR (CDCl3, 75 MHz) δ 56.2, 69.5, 94.5, 118.8, 127.6, 128.3, 129.9, 141.0, 143.5, 171.2, 201.2 p.p.m.

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. |

The title compound (I), Fig. 1, was isolated as the major product during our studies of the solid state photochemical behavior of 2-methoxy-4,4-diphenyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone as described in the Experimental.
All bond distances and angles in (I) fall in the expected ranges according to the Mogul structural check (Bruno, et al., 2002). The dihedral angles between the C1—C6 ring and rings C8—C13 and C14—C19 are 60.76 (6)° and 51.64 (6)°, respectively. The O1—C7 vector of the methoxy group is almost perpendicular to the plane of the C1—C6 ring as indicated by the dihedral angle C2—C1—O1—C7 of 94.89 (18)°. Compound (I) forms hydrogen-bonded dimers in the solid state. The graph set notation for the dimers connected by O2—H2···O1 hydrogen bonds is R22(10).
