5,7-Dimeth-oxy-2-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one methanol solvate monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound (alternatively called 4',5,7-trimethoxy-flavone methanol solvate hydrate), C(18)H(16)O(5)·CH(3)OH·H(2)O, the flavone mol-ecule is almost planar, the inter-planar angle between the planes of the benzopyran-4-one group and the attached benzene ring being 4.69 (9)°. In the crystal, the flavone mol-ecule makes inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to adjacent inversion-related flavone mol-ecules, generating R(2) (2)(8) and R(2) (2)(14) rings and an infinite ribbon. The inversion-related ribbons are stabilized through the inter-stitial water and methanol mol-ecules via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R(4) (2)(8) and R(2) (1)(6) rings and C(2) (2)(4) chains, and are further sustained by π-π inter-actions with an inter-planar spacing of 3.365 (2)Å.

Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols
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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...

Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
