7-Bromo-1-(4-chloro-phenyl-sulfan-yl)-2-phenyl-naphtho[2,1-b]furan
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(24)H(14)BrClOS, the S-bound 4-chloro-phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the naphthofuran fragment [dihedral angle = 83.34 (3)°] and the phenyl ring in the 2-position is rotated out of the naphthofuran plane by a dihedral angle of 15.23 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the furan and the central benzene rings of the neighbouring naphthofuran fragments, and between the outer benzene rings of the neighbouring naphthofuran fragments; the centroid-centroid distances within the stack are 3.879 (2) and 3.857 (2) Å. In addition, inter-molecular C-Cl⋯π inter-actions [3.505 (2) Å] between the Cl atom and the 2-phenyl ring are present.

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...
