Abstract

In the organic mol­ecule of the title compound, C19H25O2P·0.5H2O, the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 54.04 (3)°. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two five-membered planar rings, which are oriented with respect to the adjacent benzene rings at dihedral angles of 2.66 (3) and 2.79 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules. The water oxygen atom lies on a twofold rotation axis.

Comment

2-(Bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphoryl)propan-2-ol was first synthesized by the nucleophillic addition of acetone with di(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphine oxide at room temperature. We report herein its crystal structure.

In the molecule of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Rings A (C1-C6) and B (C10-C15) are, of course, planar, and the dihedral angle between them is A/B = 54.04 (3)°. The intramolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) result in the formation of two five-membered planar rings: C (C3/C4/P/O2/H3A) and D (C11/C12/P/O2/H11A). The dihedral angles between the adjacent rings are A/C = 2.66 (3)° and B/D = 2.79 (3)°. So, rings A, C and B, D are nearly coplanar. The coplanar ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 54.70 (3)°.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental

The title compound, (I) was synthesized by the reaction of di(3,5-dimethyl- phenyl)phosphine oxide (0.20 g, 0.70 mmol) (Takao & Kazuhiko, 1997) and acetone (25 ml). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by dissolving (I) in acetone and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 7 d.

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O-H = 0.85 Å (for H2O) and 0.82 Å (for OH) and C-H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,O), where x = 1.5 for OH and methyl H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
