2-[(E)-4-Meth-oxy-benzyl-idene]-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naphthalen-1-one
Abstract:
Two independent mol-ecules (A and B) comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(16)O(2). Mol-ecule B is virtually superimposable upon A. Minor differences are noted in the dihedral angles between the terminal benzene rings of 56.03 (10) and 54.62 (10)°, and in the orientations of meth-oxy groups with respect to the benzene rings to which they are attached [C-O-C-C torsion angles = 169.11 (19) and -172.37 (18)°]. The cyclo-hexene ring of each fused ring system has a screw-boat conformation. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions assemble mol-ecules into a supra-molecular array in the ab plane.

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

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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...
