Homopropargyl alcohol 5,5-diphenylpent-2-yne-1,5-diol

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H16O2, the central carbon atom has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry [spread of angles = 105.71 (8)–112.75 (9)°] for its bonds to a homopropargylic but-2-yn-1-ol moiety, a hy­droxy group and two phenyl substituents. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions link the mol­ecules into [001] chains and C—H⋯π(ring) contacts consolidate the packing.
