Homopropargyl alcohol 1,1-diphenylbut-3-yn-1-ol

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H14O, contains one mol­ecule with a central carbon atom having a distorted tetra­hedral geometry made of a propargylic fragment, a hy­droxy group and two aromatic rings. Directional inter­actions such as unusual O—Hπ contacts are observed between the mol­ecules in the crystal.
