The title compound, C29H26O4, is essentially planar in the acetophenone portion that includes both the hydroxy and a benzyloxy O atoms, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0311 Å. The other two substituents intersect the plane at 70.45 (3) and 59.55 (4)°. In the molecule there is an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C—H⋯π and π-stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances 3.6570 (2) Å.

A mixture of 2,4,6-trihydroxy acetophenone (0.3 g, 1.78 mmol), benzyl chloride (0.431 ml, 3.75 mmol, 2.1 eq) and anhydrous potassium carbonate K2CO3 (0.493 g, 3.57 mmol, 2 eq) in dry DMF (15 ml) was heated at 80 °C for 1 hr with vigorous stirring. After the solid was filtered off, the filtrate was poured into 20 ml water, and extracted with Et2O. The extract was washed with water, brine, and dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by PTLC (n-Hexane:Acetone = 7:3, Rf 0.53) to afford 4,6-dibenzyloxy-2-hydroxy acetophenone as a yellow solid (0.153 g, 51%) and the title compound (I) as a yellow solid (0.133 g, 44%).

All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms, C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms, C—H = 0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for methylene H atoms and O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O) for hydroxyl H atoms. The H atoms of the methyl and hydroxyl groups were allowed to rotate with a fixed angle to fit the experimental electron density.
An interesting use of functionalized acetophenones is in the food industry as a flavourant (Burdock, 2010). Acetophenones are also one of the basic reactants for the synthesis of
as discribed by Marais et al. (2005). As part of a study on the benzylation of nucleophilic polyphenols the structure of the undesired C-alkylation product (I) (Fig. 1) was obtained.The backbone (C1—C6, C22, C23, C67, C37, O1—O3) including the benzyloxy group (C51 –C57, O5) of I was seen to be essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0311 Å, with a maximum deviation of 0.068 (1) Å for atom C23. The intramolecular hydrogen interactions of C56—H56···O5 and C67—H67B···O5 resulted in the benzyloxy group being planar with the backbone (Fig. 2). The angles of intersection between the planar backbone, the benzyl ring and the remaining aromatic ring of the benzyloxy group were found to be 70.45 (3)° and 59.55 (4)°. These angles are further stabilized by H···π interactions, C67—H67A···Ai (centriod C31—C36) and C37—H37A···Cii (centriod C61—C66) with distances of 3.2894 (2) Å and 3.0139 (2) Å, respectively (Fig. 3). Additionally a very weak π···π interaction between rings Dii (centriod C61—C66) and E (centriod C31—C36) with a distance of 4.5790 (2) Å was found.
A third intramolecular hydrogen interaction was observed for the oxygen (O2) of the ketone with the oxygen (O1) of the hydroxy group (Fig. 2). The last hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction of the methylene proton (H57A) with the ketone (O2) contributing to the head-to-tail packing of I, this is best seen in Fig. 2. As a result of this interaction, π-stacking is observed between the central aromatic rings with a distance of 3.6570 (2) Å, as further illustrated in Fig.4.

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. |

An interesting use of functionalized acetophenones is in the food industry as a flavourant (Burdock, 2010). Acetophenones are also one of the basic reactants for the synthesis of chalcones as discribed by Marais et al. (2005). As part of a study on the benzylation of nucleophilic polyphenols the structure of the undesired C-alkylation product (I) (Fig. 1) was obtained.
The backbone (C1—C6, C22, C23, C67, C37, O1—O3) including the benzyloxy group (C51 –C57, O5) of I was seen to be essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0311 Å, with a maximum deviation of 0.068 (1) Å for atom C23. The intramolecular hydrogen interactions of C56—H56···O5 and C67—H67B···O5 resulted in the benzyloxy group being planar with the backbone (Fig. 2). The angles of intersection between the planar backbone, the benzyl ring and the remaining aromatic ring of the benzyloxy group were found to be 70.45 (3)° and 59.55 (4)°. These angles are further stabilized by H···π interactions, C67—H67A···Ai (centriod C31—C36) and C37—H37A···Cii (centriod C61—C66) with distances of 3.2894 (2) Å and 3.0139 (2) Å, respectively (Fig. 3). Additionally a very weak π···π interaction between rings Dii (centriod C61—C66) and E (centriod C31—C36) with a distance of 4.5790 (2) Å was found.
A third intramolecular hydrogen interaction was observed for the oxygen (O2) of the ketone with the oxygen (O1) of the hydroxy group (Fig. 2). The last hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction of the methylene proton (H57A) with the ketone (O2) contributing to the head-to-tail packing of I, this is best seen in Fig. 2. As a result of this interaction, π-stacking is observed between the central aromatic rings with a distance of 3.6570 (2) Å, as further illustrated in Fig.4.
