Abstract:
In the title compound, C22H20O3, the dihedral angles between the central and peripheral aromatic rings are 83.47 (2) and 66.00 (2)° and the packing is consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions to the two-dimensional fingerprint plots arise from H⋯H (51.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (32.7%), and H⋯O/O⋯H (14.3%) contacts. Energy framework calculations indicate that dispersion energy makes the largest contribution (-240 kJ mol-1) to the packing compared to the other energy components.

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.
