Abstract:
The title compound, C28H34ClNO2 {systematic name: (E)-1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)ethanone O-[(1R,4aS,10aR)-7-isopropyl-1,4a-di-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octa-hydro-phenanthrene-1-carbonyl]oxime}, was synthesized from de-hydro-abietic acid. In the de-hydro-abietyl moiety, the central and terminal cyclo-hexane rings display chair and half-chair conformations, respectively, and a trans-ring junction. The C=N bond is in an E conformation and the C-O-N=C torsion angle is 148.1 (5)°. No directional inter-actions except van der Waals contacts occur in the crystal structure.

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.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...
