6-Methyl-1-({[(2E)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl]-oxy}meth-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-quinazoline-2,4-dione
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(3), the ten atoms comprising the quinazoline ring are essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å), and this plane is almost orthogonal to the terminal phenyl ring [dihedral angle = 82.87 (7)°]. The conformation about the ethyl-ene bond [1.335 (2) Å] is E and there is a significant twist between this residue and the adjacent phenyl ring [C-C-C- torsion angle = -48.4 (3)°]. The crystal structure features centrosymmetric dimeric units linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amide groups which lead to eight-membered {⋯HNCO}(2) synthons. These are consolidated into a three-dimensional architecture by C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5087 (8) and 3.5645 (9) 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.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...
