2,3-Dibromo-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-3-(5-nitro-furan-2-yl)propan-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(14)H(11)Br(2)NO(4), the whole mol-ecule is disordered over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.539 (9):0.461 (9). The 2-nitro-furan and toluene groups are approximately planar, with maximum deviations of 0.176 (11) and 0.121 (14) Å, respectively, in the major component and 0.208 (11) and 0.30 (17) Å in the minor component. The dihedral angles between the 2-nitro-furan and toluene groups are 8.7 (5) and 8.0 (9)° for the major and minor components, respectively. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions connect mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network, generating R(2) (1)(6) ring motifs.

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.
