3,3'-Dibromo-6,6'-dimethoxy-biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid ethanol monosolvate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(16)H(12)Br(2)O(6)·C(2)H(5)OH, the two benzene rings are twisted by 80.64 (5)° and the carboxyl groups form dihedral angles of 72.48 (3) and 89.41 (2)° with the corresponding benzene rings. In the crystal structure, the biphenyl mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, resulting in a chain along the b axis.

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.
