The title compound, C17H18O3, prepared by microwave irradiation of benzophenone and dioxane, crystallizes in a racemic mixture that forms onedimensional chains via strong hydrogen bonding of the hydroxy group to the adjacent symmetry-generated 1,4-dioxan-2-yl group; the O - H...O distance is 1.99 (3) A and the O - H...O angle is 160 (2)°.

U. v. irradiation (for up to 20 min) of benzophenone in 54percent (v/v) dioxane-water in the presence of chromium(III) trifluoromethanesulphonate results in the formation of the penta-aquadioxanyl-chromium(III) complex.The complex is thought to arise from the trapping by CrII of dioxanyl radicals which are the result of H-atom abstraction by 3Ph2CO* from dioxane.On prolonged irradiation (1 h) in the presence of tracer quantities of tritiated water, the products are Cr(H2O)63+ and tritium-labelled dioxane, formed by reaction of the penta-aquadioxanylchromium(III) complex with hydronium ions present in the solution.When the irradiation of benzophenone and chromium(II) trifluoromethanesulphonate is carried out in 54percent (v/v) tetrahydrofurane-water and in 54percent (v/v) 1,2-dimethoxyethane-water, the more acid-stable penta-aquachromium(III) complexes derived from tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane are formed.
