(2E)-1-(2,4-Dichloro-phen-yl)-3-[3-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(24)H(15)Cl(2)N(3)O(3), the C=C double bond is E configured. The 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole moiety is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation of all fitted non-H atoms = 0.0780 Å), but the mean planes of the two components are inclined at an angle of 9.95 (7)°. The mean plane defined by the non-H atoms of the 1H-pyrazole ring encloses angles of 9.95 (7), 24.54 (6) and 43.02 (6)° with the mean planes of the different benzene rings. In the crystal, C-H⋯O contacts are present and result in the formation of a double-layer two-dimensional network lying parallel to (110). The shortest inter-centroid distance between two aromatic systems is 3.5455 (7) Å and is apparent between two pyrazole systems. Further π-π inter-actions are manifest between a pair of 4-nitro-phenyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.6443 (7) Å] and a pair of 2,4-dichloro-phenyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7797 (7) Å].

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.

Structure and Nomenclature of Epoxides
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
