Abstract:
The title compound, C22H26N2O2, crystallizes with three independent mol-ecules, two of which are situated on inversion centers, so the asymmetric unit contains two independent half-mol-ecules and one mol-ecule in a general position. The two hy-droxy groups in each mol-ecule are involved in intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into two crystallographically independent columns propagating along [001]; one column consists of mol-ecules in general positions, while the other column is built from alternating independent centrosymmetric mol-ecules.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the...

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...
