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-[(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-phenyl-ethanone
Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)OS, adopts a twisted V-shape, with the S atom as the pivot. The benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.015 (1) Å] makes a dihedral angle of 78.56 (7)° with the phenyl ring. The O atom of the ketone group is close to coplanar with its adjacent ring [O-C-C-C torsion angle = 11.0 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into an infinite chain along [001]. The crystal packing also features a C-H⋯π inter-action.

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...

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...
