Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C16H16O2S, (I), has been determined as part of an investigation into the synthesis of fused carbocyclic ring systems containing a cyclo­butanol ring. Compound (I), a monocyclic example, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Conformational differences in the phenyl rings on each mol­ecule permit the formation of an infinite chain of intermolecular O—H⋯O—S hydrogen bonds.
