Comment
The compound (I, Fig. 1) is the precursor for the synthesis of hindered phenol-based antioxidants. Phenol-based antioxidants and their derivative have applications in industries such as pharmaceutical, textiles, plastics, polymers, oils, pesticides,dyestuffs, explosives, fluorescent-brightening industries (Kim & Lee, 2003; Um & Lee, 2005). Molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via the eight- membered {OCOH}2 synthon (Table 1). The hydroxyl-H projects between the two sterically hindered aromatic rings and is therefore precluded from forming a hydrogen bonding interaction.
Experimental
2-Mercaptonicotinic acid (1.50 g, 1 mmol), 2,6-di-t-butylphenol (2.00 g, 1 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (0.291 g,1 mmol) were intimately ground into a powder and to this was added di-n-butylamine (0.09 ml). The slurry was heated to 373–383 K and after an hour, this solidified. The solid was purified by column chromatography, with chloroform as solvent, to give two products, one of which was the expected acid, (I), and the other, the di-n-butylammonium salt of the acid.
Refinement
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C). The acid H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of O–H 0.84±0.01 Å; its temperature factor were freely refined. The hydroxy H-atom was placed in a chemically sensible position, with a distance of more than 2 Å from the neighboring methyl H-atoms. The C–O–H fragment is then perpendicular to the aromatic ring.

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
