{2-[(9,9-Dihexyl-fluoren-2-yl)carbon-yl]phen-yl}(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)methanone
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(40)H(44)O(3), the fluorene ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.075 (3) Å, and forms dihedral angles of 70.62 (8) and 70.31 (8)° with the mean planes of the central benzene ring and the meth-oxy-phenyl ring, respectively. Both the hexyl side chains have different conformations, i.e. an anti-gauche-anti-gauche conformation with C-C-C-C torsion angles of -169.3 (2), 74.2 (4), -178.0 (3) and -76.0 (6)° for one hexyl side chain and an anti-anti-anti-gauche conformation with C-C-C-C torsion angles of -177.9 (2), -176.5 (3), 171.7 (4) and 80.4 (9)° for the other. Four C atoms in one and two C atoms in the other hexyl side chains are each disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy factors of 0.761 (3):0.239 (3) and 0.660 (6):0.340 (6). In the crystal, mol-ecules are via pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers and resulting in R(2) (2)(28) graph-set motifs.

Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols
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 Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
