Abstract:
In the title compound, C(24)H(18)N(2)O(4)·CHCl(3), the phenyl and benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 38.60 (9)° and connect in an orientation almost perpendicular to the naphthalene ring system at dihedral angles of 78.73 (8) and 81.20 (7)°. The mol-ecule has a Z configuration about the C=N bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯N=C hydrogen bonds between the imino moiety and hy-droxy groups. Inter-molecular C-Cl⋯C inter-actions between Cl atoms of the CHCl(3) mol-ecule and C atoms of the naphthalene rings are also present [Cl⋯C = 3.353 (2) and 3.326 (19) Å]. The nitro group and the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.884 (4) and 0.116 (4).

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...
