2-Oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl 4-tert-butyl-benzoate
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(18)O(4), the three methyl groups of the tert-butyl substituent show rotational disorder. Each methyl group is split over three positions, with refined site-occupation factors of 0.711 (4), 0.146 (3) and 0.144 (4). The benzene ring of the benzoate group is oriented at a dihedral angle of 60.70 (7)° with respect to the planar chromene ring [maximum deviation = 0.046 (2) Å]. The crystal structure features centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(8) dimers formed via C-H⋯O inter-actions, and these dimeric aggregates are connected by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
