2,6‐Di‐tert‐butyl­phenol revisited at 110 K

The title compound, C₁₄H₂₂O, was studied at 110 K. The phenolic hydroxy group was found to be coplanar with the benzene ring and, due to steric hindrance from the tert‐butyl groups, this hydroxy group does not form hydrogen bonds. The shortest inter­molecular O⋯O distance is 3.1008 (11) Å, with an O—H⋯O angle of 117.3 (16)°. There are no significant inter­molecular π–π stacking or C—H⋯π inter­actions.
