The title compound, C(35)H(31)NO(3), was obtained by the reaction of (S)-benzyl 2-amino-3-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)propano-ate and (chloro-methane-tri-yl)tribenzene. The enanti-omer has been assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains running along the a axis by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
