9-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]-10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracen-9-ol

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H27NO, contains two molecules (AandB). In moleculeA, 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 moleculeB, 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 zigzagC(7) chains of alternatingAandBmolecules running parallel to [100]. The structure also features weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions.
