Ethyl 4-(2,4-dichloro-phen-yl)-6-(6-meth-oxy-2-naphth-yl)-2-oxocyclo-hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(26)H(22)Cl(2)O(4), the cyclo-hexenone ring adopts an approximate half-chair conformation, with two C atoms displaced by -0.485 (6) and 0.218 (6) Å from the plane of the other four ring atoms. The dihedral angles between its four almost coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.006 (2) Å] atoms and the benzene and naphthalene ring systems are 59.26 (13) and 79.94 (9)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings systems is 77.14 (7)°. A short intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contact generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions to generate a three-dimensional network.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
