2-[2-(Cyclo-hexyl-carbon-yl)phen-yl]-1-phenyl-ethanone
Abstract:
The title diketone, C(21)H(22)O(2), features a phenyl-ene ring having benzoyl-methyl and cyclo-hexa-noyl substituents ortho to each other. The cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation with the ketonic group occupying an equatorial position; the four-atom -C(O)-C ketonic unit is twisted out of the plane of the phenyl-ene ring by 34.9 (1)°.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...

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...
