3-Acetyl-5-hy-droxy-2-methyl-anthra[1,2-b]furan-6,11-dione
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(12)O(5), contains two independent mol-ecules, both slightly buckled along an axis passing through the C=O bonds of the anthraquinone ring system (r.m.s. deviation of non-H atoms = 0.082 and 0.148 Å): the benzene rings are twisted to each other by 4.3 (3)°in one mol-ecule and 10.6(3)° in the other. In both mol-ecules, the hy-droxy group forms an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The two independent mol-ecules inter-act by π-π stacking with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.539 (2) Å between hy-droxy-benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
