Crystal structure of 2-isopropyl-4-meth-oxy-5-methyl-phenyl 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonate.

The title compound, C18H22O4S, an hemisynthetic product, was obtained by the tosyl-ation reaction of the naturally occurring meroterpene p-meth-oxy-thymol. The mol-ecule comprises a tetra-substitued phenyl ring linked to a toluene-sulfonate through one of its O atoms. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
