Crystal structure of 2-isopropyl-4-methoxy-5-methylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Abstract

The title compound, C18H22O4S, an hemisynthetic product, was obtained by the tosylation reaction of the naturally occurring meroterpene p-methoxythymol. The molecule comprises a tetrasubstitued phenyl ring linked to a toluenesulfonate through one of its O atoms. In the crystal, C—H...O and C—H...π interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
