Abstract
Abstract The molecular structure of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)pentan-3-ol, C18H30O4, has been determined from 3-dimensional X-ray data. The monoclinic unit-cell, P21/c with a = 14.420(6), b = 8.629(4) and c = 15.003(6) A and β = 109.45(3)°, contains four molecules. Refinement converged to a final conventional R-index 4.6% for 2662 observed reflexions. The orientation of the C(OH)-t-Bu2 group and the OMe groups with respect to the benzene nucleus is discussed and compared with the orientations found in related compounds.
