title: [(1R,3S)-6,7-Dimeth-oxy-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-isoquinolin-3-yl]methanol 2.33-hydrate.
abstract: The title compound, C(18)H(21)NO(3)·2.33H(2)O, is the fourth reported member in a series of (1R,3S)-6,7-dimeth-oxy-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-isoquinoline derivatives used in catalysis as ligands (or their precursors). The N-heterocycle in the structure adopts a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 77.29 (13)°. There are three ill-resolved water molecules of crystallization in the structure (one of them rotationally disordered about a threefold axis) involved in short contacts probably due to hydrogen bonding.
