Abstract:
The title compound, C17H17NO3, prepared by the condensation reaction of 2-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)aniline and salicyl-aldehyde, has an E conformation about the C=N bond. The six-membered O-heterocycle adopts a chair conformation, with the bond to the aromatic ring located at its equatorial position. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 36.54 (9)°. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a-axis direction. Within the chains, there are C-H⋯π inter-actions involving adjacent mol-ecules.

02:23Structure 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...

01:28Structures 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 unhybridized p...
02:28Structure 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.
