(3,5,5,6,8,8-Hexamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetra­hydro­naphthalen-2-yl)methanol: a possible metabolite of the synthetic musk fragrance AHTN

The title compound (AHTN-OH), C17H26O, was prepared in order to provide standard materials for the qualitative and quanti­tative analysis of environmental pollutants. The mol­ecule possesses a chiral C atom, although the structure determination was performed on racemic material, expressed in the structure as disordered chiral sites. The asymmetric unit consists of four AHTN-OH mol­ecules containing an hy­droxy group and forming a tetra­meric cyclic motif built up by four strong hydrogen bonds between these hy­droxy groups and additionally by two weak C—H⋯π inter­actions. Furthermore, these tetra­mers are linked via very weak C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming chains along the c axis
