The synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, C30H29NO, are described. This compound is a member of the chiral dihydroisoquinoline-derived family, used as building blocks for functional materials and as source of chirality in asymmetric synthesis, and was isolated as one of two diastereomeric β-amino alcohols, the title molecule being found to be the (S,R) diastereoisomer. In the crystal, molecules are packed in a herringbone manner parallel to (103) and (10\overline{3}) via weak C—H...O and C—H...π(ring) interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the surface contacts are predominantly H...H interactions (ca 75%). The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
