4-Hydr­oxy-4,4-diphenyl­butan-2-one

Abstract

The mol­ecules of the title compound, C16H16O2, display an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl donor and the ketone acceptor. Inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions connect adjacent mol­ecules into chains that propagate parallel to the ac diagonal. The chains are arranged in sheets, and mol­ecules in adjacent sheets inter­act via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
