Absolute configuration of (2S)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-ol

Abstract

The title compound, C10H14O2, was isolated from the chloroform extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100). There are weak intermolecular C—H...π interactions between the sheets.
