The 21H27NO, contains two molecules (A and B). In molecule A, the central ring of the anthrone unit adopts a shallow boat conformation and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 18.96 (7)°. In molecule B, the central ring is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.078 Å) and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 7.82 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag C(7) chains of alternating A and B molecules running parallel to [100]. The structure also features weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions.

The title compound was obtained as a gift sample from R. L. Fine Chem, Bengaluru, India. Colourless prisms were obtained from toluene solution by slow evaporation (m.p.: 395 – 397 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using the riding-model approximation [O—H = 0.84 Å, aromatic C—H = 0.95 Å, methylene C—H = 0.99 Å and methyl C—H = 0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(parent atom)].

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 e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Anthracene and its derivatives are long known polycyclic aromatic compounds showing a high potential for use in materials science (e.g. fluorescence probing, photochromic systems, electroluminescence) and several reviews have been published. Anthrone is a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon which is used for a popular cellulose assay and in the colorometric determination of carbohydrates (Trevelyan, 1952) and anthracene itself is used in the production of red dye alizarin. The crystal structures of 9,9,10,10-tetrachloro-9,10-dihydroanthracene (Yannoni & Silverman, 1966), cis-9,10-dibenzyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (Abboud et al., 1991), 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (Siddaraju et al., 2011); 10,10-dimethylanthrone (Fun et al., 2010) and melitracenium chloride (Fun et al., 2011) have been reported.
As part of our studies in this area, this paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound (I).
As shown in Fig. 1, there are two crystallographically independent molecules (A with the suffix A and B with the suffix B) in the asymmetric unit. In molecule A, the cyclohexane ring (C1A/C2A/C7A/C8A/C11A/C16A) adopts a shallow boat conformation, while the anthracene unit (C1B–C8B/C11B–C16B) with the cyclohexane ring in molecule B, is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.216 (1) Å for C1B. In molecules A and B, the dihedral angles between the terminal benzene rings are 18.96 (7) and 7.82 (7)°, respectively. In both molecules A and B, the values of the bond lengths and angles agree with each other.
The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H···N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag C(7) chains running parallel to the [100] direction (Table 1, Fig. 2). Further stabilization is provided by C—H···π interactions (Table 1), involving the C11A–C16A (centroid Cg1) and C2B–C7B (centroid Cg2) benzene rings.
