1-[6-Chloro-4-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-2-methyl-3-quinol-yl]ethanone
Abstract:
The title compound, C(18)H(13)Cl(2)NO, features an essentially planar quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.023 Å) with the acetyl [C-C-C-O torsion angle = -78.27 (17)°] and benzene [C-C-C-C torsion angle = 110.11 (14)°] substituents being twisted out of the plane; the dihedral angle formed between the mean planes of these two substituents is 58.01 (8)°. The acetyl O and benzene-bound Cl atoms lie to opposite sides of the mol-ecule. Centrosymmetric aggregates mediated by pairs of C-H⋯O contacts are found in the crystal structure, and these are connected into a two-dimensional array in the (01) plane via Cl⋯O [3.0508 (11) Å] inter-actions.

Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols
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...
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.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...
