2-Dibutylamino-1-(2,7-dichloro-9H-fluoren-4-yl)ethanol

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>23</inf>H<inf>29</inf>Cl<inf>2</inf>NO, the fluorene ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.041 (1) Å. The amine group adopts a pyramidal configuration, the sum of the bond angles being 336.2 (3)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into dimers by inter-molecular O - H?N and C - H?O hydrogen bonds. Weak C - H?? and ?-? [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7544 (7) Å] interactions are also observed.
