Abstract

In the title compound, C(21)H(18)O(4), the outer benzyl rings are disordered over two resolved positions in a 0.50 ratio. The O-CH(2) groups form dihedral angles of 4.1 (2) and 10.9 (4)° with the central benzene ring, adopting a syn-anti conformation with respect to this ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming chains along [010].
