Abstract:
The title molecule, C44H30O8, lies about a crystallographic inversion centre located at the centre of the central benzene ring. The benzene rings in the benzoyl and the terephthalate units make dihedral angles of 67.05 (7)° and 57.57 (7)°, respectively, with the naphthalene ring system. There is an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action between the ketonic carbonyl O atom and an H atom on the naphthalene ring system. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-action of the benzene ring in the benzoyl group and weak C=O⋯π inter-action [O⋯centroid = 3.375 (2) Å] of the naphthalene ring with the O atom in the ketonic carbonyl group are observed. These inter-actions form layers parallel to the bc plane.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...

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...
