Abstract: | The structure of the title compound, 2,4‐bis(1‐methyl‐1‐phenylethyl)phenol, C24H26O, was found to have a torsion angle of 129.95 (13)° for the C—C bond that connects the benzyl carbon to the phenol ring ortho to the OH group. A value of ~50° was expected from molecular mechanics calculations. Intermolecular interactions, in particular O—H?O and edge–face π bonding, may contribute to this discrepancy. Intramolecular O—H?π bonding is also observed. |
