Notes:
The mono-arylic compound, methyl β-orcinol-carboxylate (I) is one of the principal components of lichens which grow on the oak tree. In the crystal structure of I the molecules are H-bonded to form sheets separated by 3.56 (5) Å. The carbonyl O-atom of the ester group and the ortho-hydroxyl group form a strong intramolecular H-bond. The IR. spectrum of the solid contains two (O--H)-stretching frequencies which, by comparison with the spectra of the 4-methoxy and the 2-methoxy analogues, can be assigned to one intra- and one intermolecular H-bond.
