title: 4,4'-(Cyclo-hexane-1,1-di-yl)diphenol methanol solvate.
abstract: The title compound, crystallized as a methanol solvate, C(18)H(20)O(2)·CH(3)OH, is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of the anti-lipidemic agent clinofibrate. Mol-ecules are packed together with the methanol solvent molecule via two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The third O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is between neighboring 4,4'-(cyclo-hexane-1,1-di-yl)diphenol mol-ecules. The dihedral angle between two benzene rings planes is 81.69 (6).
