10a-Hy-droxy-9-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8a,9,10a-octa-hydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(22)O(5), the tetra-hydro-pyran, cyclo-hexene and cyclo-hexane rings of the xanthene ring system adopt half-chair, half-boat and chair conformations, respectively. The mean plane of the four roughly planar atoms of the tetra-hydro-pyran ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.111 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 82.91 (4)° with the meth-oxy-benzene group. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into sheets lying parallel to the ac plane. The crystal is further consolidated by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.

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