Abstract:
In the title compound, C20H16N2O4, the mol-ecule adopts an E conformation about the N=C bond. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. The nitro-benzene and benz-yloxy rings are inclined to the central benzene ring by 4.34 (10) and 27.66 (11)°, respectively, and to one another by 31.40 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along [001]. Within the chains there are C-H⋯π inter-actions present. The chains are linked via π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.7048 (15) Å], forming slabs parallel to the bc plane.

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...

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 unhybridized p...

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.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent...
