The title compound (AHTN-OH), C17H26O, was prepared in order to provide standard materials for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of environmental pollutants. The molecule possesses a chiral C atom, although the structure determination was performed on racemic material, expressed in the structure as disordered chiral sites. The asymmetric unit consists of four AHTN-OH molecules containing an hydroxy group and forming a tetrameric cyclic motif built up by four strong hydrogen bonds between these hydroxy groups and additionally by two weak C–H···π interactions. Furthermore, these tetramers are linked via very weak C–H···π interactions, forming chains along the c axis.
Crystals of the title compound, C18H26O2, were grown from ethyl acetate. Due to the racemic precursor, the title compound is also obtained as a racemate. Disorder was observed during structure refinement, originating from two possible half-chair conformations of the non-aromatic ring. The disorder was refined by introducing split positions in the cyclo-hexane ring regarding the two possible R and S-enantiomers at the chiral CH group [ratio 0.744 (3):0.256 (3)]. The crystal structure features pairs of inversion-related molecules connected by pairs of non-classical C–H···O hydrogen bonds.
In this work, the behavior of the polycyclic musks 6-acetyl-1,1,2,4,4,7-hexamethyltetraline (AHTN) and 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-
γ-2-benzopyran (HHCB) was investigated upon disinfection by using sodium hypochlorite as disinfectant in a model disinfection basin in order to find new disinfection byproducts (DBP). In the case of AHTN, the carboxylic acid 3,5,5,6,8,8-hexamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-2-
carboxylic acid (AHTN-COOH) was generated by a haloform reaction, being the origin for two new chlorinated DBPs. In the case of HHCB, disinfection via hypochlorite led to the HHCB-lactone. All reaction products and intermediates were synthesized and isolated. The relevant degradation mechanisms are discussed in detail.
