Preparation of N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamides from N-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles and Subsequent Conversion to Substituted Phthalans and Phenethylamines
Published on: January 3, 2018
2-[(E)-(1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenol methanol monosolvate
Abstract:
In the title multi-donor Schiff base compound, C(19)H(13)N(3)O·CH(3)OH, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenanthroline and phenol rings is 59.3 (1)°. The Schiff base mol-ecule is linked to the solvent mol-ecule by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, weak O-H⋯N inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.701 (1) and 3.656 (1) 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.
