(1R*,2R*)-2-(Methylphenylamino)-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-1-ol–water (4/1)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 4C17H17NO·H2O, contains four independent naphthalenol mol­ecules and one mol­ecule of water. All of the mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit are connected into a contiguous row via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. This unique hydrogen-bonded row is, in turn, linked to form extended O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chains, through unit-cell translations in the a direction. The hydrogen-bonding motif also contains an O(water)—H⋯π(arene) weak hydrogen bond, with an H⋯Cg distance of 2.64 (4) Å (where Cg is the center of gravity of the phenyl ring).
