6-Hy-droxy-2H-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde
Abstract:
The title compound, C(8)H(6)O(4), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The benzodioxole ring system is almost planar in each mol-ecule, with maximum deviations of 0.008 (1) and 0.007 (1) Å. The mol-ecular structure is characterized by strong electrostatic intra-molecular O⋯O contacts [2.649 (3) Å] and intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. Inter-molecular O⋯O inter-actions [3.001 (2) Å] are observed in the crystal structure.

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.
