(R)-2'-Benz-yloxy-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octa-hydro-1,1'-binaphthyl-2-ol
Abstract:
The mol-ecules of the title compound, C(27)H(28)O(2), exhibit axial chirality. The planes of the aromatic rings of the tetra-lin ring systems make an angle of 85.72 (11)°. The non-aromatic rings adopt distorted half-chair conformations. In one of them, two C atoms of the four-atom aliphatic chain are disordered over two sites in a 0.75 (2):0.25 (2) ratio. The substituent phenyl ring is also disordered over two positions in a 0.59 (3):0.41 (3) ratio. There are no conventional hydrogen bonds joining 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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
