3-(2,4-Dichloro-phen-yl)-1,5-di-2-furylpentane-1,5-dione
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(19)H(14)Cl(2)O(4), intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds generate S(6) and S(5) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions between symmetry-related mol-ecules involving two methyl-ene groups and an O atom as a bifurcated acceptor generate an R(2) (1)(6) ring motif. In the mol-ecule, one of the furan rings is rotationally disordered by approximately 180° about the single C-C bond to which it is attached; the refined site-occupancy factors are 0.505 (7) and 0.495 (7). The major component of the disordered furan ring and the benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 88.8 (4)°. The dihedral angle between the major disorder component and the other furan ring is 81.9 (4)°. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by further inter-molecular C-H⋯O (×2) hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

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.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
