In the title compound, C17H16O2, the central carbon atom has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry [spread of angles = 105.71 (8)–112.75 (9)°] for its bonds to a homopropargylic but-2-yn-1-ol moiety, a hy­droxy group and two phenyl substituents. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions link the mol­ecules into [001] chains and C—H⋯π(ring) contacts consolidate the packing.

Structure description

Poly-functional homopropargylic alcohols are very useful inter­mediates in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds (Kim et al., 2017[Kim, J., Jeong, W. & Rhee, Y. H. (2017). Org. Lett. 19, 242-245.]; Foley & Leighton, 2015[Foley, C. N. & Leighton, J. L. (2015). Org. Lett. 17, 5858-5861.]; Francais et al., 2010[Francais, A., Leyva, A., Etxebarria-Jardi, G. & Ley, S. V. (2010). Org. Lett. 12, 340-343.]; Hosseyni et al., 2016[Hosseyni, S., Wojtas, L., Li, M. & Shi, X. (2016). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 138, 3994-3997.]). Their preparation usually involves multi-step synthesis (Midland et al., 1984[Midland, M. M., Tramontano, A., Kazubski, A., Graham, R. S., Tsai, D. J. S. & Cardin, D. B. (1984). Tetrahedron, 40, 1371-1380.]). The crystal structure of 5,5-diphenyl-2-pentyn-1,5-diol is reported herein.

The crystal structure of the title compound features a distorted tetra­hedral geometry for the central carbon atom (C7) for which the bonding sphere is made of a homopropargylic 2-butyn-1-ol fragment, a hy­droxy group and two phenyl groups (Fig. 1[link]). The central carbon atom has angles that deviate from the ideal value (109.4°), mainly because of the bulky phenyl groups attached to it. The dihedral angle between the rings is 80.79 (6)°. The bond length of the carbon-[carbon triple bond (C15≡C16) is 1.190 (2) Å, with the C14—C15—C16 angle being 174.11 (12)°.

In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are observed between mol­ecules whose acceptor atoms are in a different asymmetric unit, forming a ring with an R(8) graph-set motif (Table 1[link] and Fig. 2[link]) as a component of [001] chains. The packing is consolidated by C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 1[link] and Fig. 2[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

This highly substituted homopropargyl alcohol was synthesized, in a one-pot reaction, by the sequential treatment of propargyl bromide, with n-BuLi and TMEDA at −78°C, followed by reaction with benzo­phenone. The reaction inter­mediate thus obtained, was treated with paraformaldehyde overnight (Fig. 3[link]), according to the literature procedure (Cabezas et al., 2001[Cabezas, J. A., Pereira, A. & Amey, A. (2001). Tetrahedron Lett. 42, 6819-6822.]). The volatile by-product obtained (2-butyn-1-ol) was removed by Kugelrohr distillation and the residue was purified by column chromatography (ether:hexa­ne) and the product obtained was recrystallized from a mixed ethyl ether:hexa­nes (1:1) solvent mixture to give colourless block-like crystals.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
