Bis[2-bromo-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol] monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, 2C8H9BrO2·H2O, the O—C—C—C torsion angles for the hydroxyethyl group and the Br—C—C—O torsion angles involving bromo and phenol groups are 61.7 (11) and 0.7 (12)°, respectively, in one independent molecule and 61.5 (11) and 0.2 (11)°, respectively, in the other. In the crystal, molecules are linked through O—H...O and O—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a polymeric chain.
