Abstract:
In the title compound, C36H36N2, a product of the condensation reaction of 2,3-dimethyl-6-phenyl-vinyl-benzenamine and 2,3-butane-dione, the complete mol-ecule is generated by the application of an inversion centre. The central C-C bond in the 1,4-di-aza-butadiene fragment is trans-configured and situated about the inversion center. The dihedral angle between the ring attached to N and the 1,4-di-aza-butadiene plane is 78.24 (36)°, while the 1,4-di-aza-butadiene plane makes an angle of 30.71 (26)° with the phenyl ring.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the...

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...
