6-[3-(2,4-Dimethyl-anilino)-2-hydroxy-prop-oxy]-1,8-dihydr-oxy-3-methyl-9,10-dihydro-anthracene-9,10-dione
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(26)H(25)NO(6), the anthraquinone ring system forms a dihedral angle of 15.5 (1)° with the benzene ring of the dimethyl-aniline group. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is observed between the carbonyl and two hydroxyl groups. The mol-ecules are linked into a ribbon-like structure along the [100] direction by O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal used was twinned via a 180° rotation about [100]. The ratio of the two twin components is 0.947 (1):0.053 (1).

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.
