Structure of p-methoxyphenyldiphenyl carbinol

Sven - 31-5-2004 at 21:59

Hey guys,

Could someone help me out with the structure of the above compound?

Can't seem to find anything on the net for it.

I have a fair idea, just need some clarification. I believe it may be 2(phenyl) -- COH -- OMePhenyl. Or something like that anyway.

Carbinol is the -CH<sub>2</sub>OH group. Hence, in the given compound, the substituents are 2 phenyls, and one para-methoxyphenyl. My guess would be something like:

p-MeO-Ph-C(OH)-(Ph)<sub>2</sub>
