2-(Biphenyl-4-yl)propan-2-ol

The title compound, C15H16O, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Due to the space-group symmetry, this results in the formation of a tetramer where the four molecules are connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The molecules pack parallel to the c axis. Bot...
