Dianin’s compound (4-p-hydroxyphenyl-224-trimethylchroman) was invented by Aleksandr Dianin in 1914. This compound is a condensation isomer of bisphenol A and acetone and of special importance in host-guest chemistry because it can form a large variety of clathrates with suitable guest molecules. One example is the clathrate of Dianin’s compound with morpholine. Slow evaporation of a solution containing both organic compounds yields crystals.
