Abstract:
The title compound, C32H32O6, crystallized with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule has essentially the same feature of non-coplanar aromatic rings whereby the two 4-isopropoxybenzoyl groups are twisted in a perpendicular manner to the naphthalene ring and oriented in the same direction (syn-orientation). The benzene rings of the aroyl groups make dihedral angles of 16.13 (7) and 25.31 (7)° in the two molecules. These benzene rings make dihedral angles of 88.38 (8) and 75.32 (7)° with the naphthalene ring system in one molecule, and 89.71 (7) and 82.11 (7)° in the other. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In one independent molecule, the 2-propyl groups of both isoprop-oxy groups are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.512 (3) and 0.488 (3).

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.
