The title compound, C15H14O2, was obtained by Friedel–Crafts acylation between 2,5-dimethylphenol and benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride as a catalyst. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 61.95 (4)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding and C—H⋯O weak interactions lead to polymeric C(6), C(8) and C(11) chains along the a, b and c-axis directions, respectively.
In the title compound, C12H9NO3S, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 83.93 (7)°. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming inversion dimers with graph-set notation R
2
2(22). These dimers are in turn linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds along [100], forming R
2
2(8) rings.
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.
