Crystal structures of two bis-phenols namely bis-(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)(3-amino phenyl)methane 1 and bis-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)(3-aminophenyl) methane 2 are determined. The compound 1 crystallises in monoclinic P21/c with a = 12.2579(16) Å, b = 16.0906(19) Å, c = 10.6664(13) Å, β = 115.417(7)°, V = 1900.2(4) Å3 whereas 2 crystallizes in monoclinic C2/c, a = 9.2538(2) Å, b = 18.6579(4) Å, c = 23.2725(5) Å, β = 98.796(2)°, V = 3970.89(15) Å3. The crystal lattice of both the compounds shows presence of N–H···π interactions but no O–H···π interactions.
