title: 1-(3-Benzyl-4,6-dibenz-yloxy-2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)ethanone.
abstract: The title compound, C(29)H(26)O(4), is essentially planar in the acetophenone portion that includes both the hy-droxy and a benz-yloxy O atoms, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0311 Å. The other two substituents inter-sect the plane at 70.45 (3) and 59.55 (4)°. In the molecule there is an intramolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C-H⋯π and π-stacking inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances 3.6570 (2) Å.
