2-Benzhydryl-6-tert-butyl-4-methyl­phenol

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₆O, was prepared by the reaction between 2-tert-butyl-4-methyl­phenol and diphenyl­methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. Three benzene rings are attached directly to the central C—H group in a twisted propeller conformation with the local pseudo-C₃ rotational axis coinciding with the C—H bond. There are three short C—H...O contacts in the molecule.
