Abstract:
In the title compound, C19H24N2O2, a di-Mannich base derived from 2-methyl-phenol and 1,3,6,8-tetra-aza-tri-cyclo-[4.4.1.1(3,8)]dodecane, the imidazolidine ring adopts a twist conformation, with a twist about the ring N-C bond [C-N-C-C torsion angle = -44.34 (14)°]. The two 2-hy-droxy-3-methyl-benzyl groups are located in trans positions with respect to the imidazolidine fragment. The structure displays two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which each form an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions with a bifurcated acceptor, forming a three-dimensional network.

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...

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is...
