5-Chloro-7-methyl-2-phenyl-3-phenyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(21)H(15)ClO(2)S, the O atom and the phenyl group of the phenyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment; the phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to this plane [82.24 (7)°]. The phenyl ring in the 2-position is rotated out of the benzofuran plane, making a dihedral angle of 11.50 (9)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. In addition, the stacked mol-ecules exhibit an inter-molecular S⋯O inter-action [3.327 (2) Å] involving the sulfinyl groups.

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...

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...
