✦ Synopsis


The title compound, C 39 H 39 N 3 O 4 , although having potential C 2 molecular symmetry, crystallizes as an asymmetric conformer, due to a couple of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving hydroxyl groups and a pyridine N atom. This geometrical feature explains why this compound behaves as a poor chiral inductor for asymmetric synthesis.
