3,3'-Bis(3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzo-yl)-1,1'-(o-phenyl-ene)dithio-urea ethanol solvate
Abstract:
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(28)H(30)N(4)O(8)S(2)·C(2)H(6)O, the benzene ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 38.50 (6) and 5.68 (5)° with respect to the trimethoxy-phenyl rings, while the two trimethoxy-phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 44.18 (5)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds result in the formation of non-planar six-, seven- and eight-membered rings. The twisting modes of the two side arms are different [C-N-C-O and C-N-C-N torsion angles = 0.1 (3) and 11.8 (3)°, respectively, in one arm, and 4.6 (3) and -11.5 (3)° in the other]. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
