Abstract

The title mol-ecule, C(37)H(56)O(6), possesses twofold symmetry, with the twofold axis passing through the quaternary C atom. In the crystal, neighbouring mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the phenol OH group and the carbonyl O atom, forming chains propagating in [101]. Within these chains, rings are formed with an R(2) (2)(20) motif. There are also C-H⋯O inter-actions present within the rings.
