2,3-Dibromo-3-(4-bromo-phen-yl)-1-[3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)sydnon-4-yl]propan-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound {systematic name: 4-[2,3-dibromo-3-(4-bromo-phen-yl)propano-yl]-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1,2,3-oxa-dia-zol-3-ylium-5-olate}, C(18)H(13)Br(3)N(2)O(4), the central oxadiazole ring, which is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.016 (3) Å, makes dihedral angles of 29.98 (16) and 52.04 (16)°, respectively, with the terminal bromo-substituted and meth-oxy-substituted benzene rings. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
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.
