Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C48H42N4O5, a potential non-linear optical compound, the furan ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 (1) Å] and the indolyl-idene ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (2) Å] are inclined to one another by 18.52 (6)°. This is similar to the arrangement [16.51 (18)°] found for the N-hy-droxy-ethyl adduct of the title compound [Bhuiyan et al. (2011 ▶). Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. 548, 1-12]. Replacing the hy-droxy-ethyl group with 3,5-di-benzyl-oxybenzoate has not resulted in a non-centrosymmetric lattice arrangement or significant changes to the basic mol-ecular structure. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R (2) 2(20) ring motif. The dimers are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming C(17) chains along [010]. The chains are linked by further C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (001) and enclosing R 2 (2)(44) ring motifs. There are also C-H⋯π inter-actions present, stabilizing the inter-layer orientation of the pendant bis-(benz-yloxy)benzo-yloxy group.

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...

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...
