Abstract:
In the title compound, C18H15NO3, the isoxazole moiety adopts a shallow envelope conformation, with the C atom bearing the OH group displaced by 0.148 (1) Å from the mean plane through the other four atoms. The mean plane of this ring (all atoms) subtends dihedral angles of 87.19 (6) and 15.51 (7)° with the benzo-furan ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) and the 4-methylphenyl ring, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating [001] C(5) chains, with adjacent mol-ecules in the chain related by c-glide symmetry. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions link the chains into a three-dimensional network.

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...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
