(8-Bromo-2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1-naph-thyl)(4-chlorobenzoyl)methanone
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(18)H(12)BrClO(3), the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring make a dihedral angle of 82.18 (9)°. The conformation around the central C=O group is such that the C=O bond vector forms a larger angle to the plane of the naphthalene ring system than to the plane of the benzene ring, viz. 60.91 (16)° versus 13.94 (16)°. In the crystal structure, two π-π inter-actions formed between the naphthalene ring systems [centroid-centroid distances of 3.8014 (13) and 3.9823 (13) Å] and inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds 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...
