(E)-2,2′-[3-(4-Fluorophenyl)prop-2-ene-1,1-diyl]bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one)

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H29FO4, each cyclohexenone ring has an envelope conformation with the dimethyl-substituted atom as the flap. The hydroxy and carbonyl groups form two intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, as is typical for xanthene derivatives. In the crystal, very weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into dimers.
