Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a compound with two 4-hydroxybenzyl substituents linked by hydrogen bonds in a three-dimensional network.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound exhibits an envelope conformation.
- Dihedral angles between the pyranone ring and the benzene rings were measured.
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonds create a three-dimensional network.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new compound that has two parts sticking out, and they found out how it looks in 3D.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by reacting 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with tetrahydropyran-4-one in THF, followed by purification through recrystallization.
