Abstract:
The title compound, C(35)H(31)NO(3), was obtained by the reaction of (S)-benzyl 2-amino-3-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)propano-ate and (chloro-methane-tri-yl)tribenzene. The enanti-omer has been assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains running along the a axis by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
