This study details the molecular conformation of a novel C27H23N3O2 compound. Geminal benzyl groups exhibit syn-orientation, a structure maintained in solution and influencing crystal packing through weak interactions.
Area of Science:
- Organic Chemistry
- Crystallography
- Molecular Structure
Background:
- Understanding molecular conformation is crucial for predicting chemical and physical properties.
- Isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin derivatives represent a class of compounds with potential applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the detailed molecular structure and conformation of the title compound, C27H23N3O2.
- To investigate the intermolecular interactions and crystal packing of the compound.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was employed to determine the solid-state structure.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (1H NMR) was used to study the conformation in solution.
Main Results:
- The compound exhibits a virtually planar isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin ring system with an inclined N-bonded phenyl group (55.05°).
- Geminal benzyl groups are syn-oriented relative to the pyridazinone methyl group, a conformation preserved in CDCl3 solution.
- Crystal packing reveals T-shaped molecules arranged in rod-like assemblies along [10-1], stabilized by weak C-H⋯N, C-H⋯O, and C-H⋯π interactions, with no significant π-π stacking.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a comprehensive structural characterization of the C27H23N3O2 compound.
- The observed conformation and intermolecular interactions offer insights into the structure-property relationships of this molecular class.

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...

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...
