9-Allyl-9H-fluoren-9-ol

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H14O, contains two independent molecules differing in the orientations of the allyl groups; the corresponding O—C—C(H2)—C(H) torsion angles are −61.01 (13) and −177.43 (10)°. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link four molecules into a centrosymmetric tetramer, in which each hydroxy group acts as a donor and an acceptor of hydrogen bonds.
