In the title 2-propanol derivative, C(17)H(27)ClO(2), the two tert-butyl groups both have one methyl C atom lying in the plane of the aromatic ring. In the crystal, the phenol group forms a hydrogen bond to the hy-droxy O atom belonging to the alkyl substituent of an adjacent mol-ecule, forming a chain along the ac diagonal. The Cl atom is disordered over two positions in a 0.73 (4):0.27 (4) ratio.
