Abstract:
The title compound, C15H12N2O3, was synthesized by reacting phendione with acetone in ethanol under microwave irradiation. An intra-molecular C=O⋯π inter-action supports the mol-ecular conformation. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairwise, bifurcated O-H⋯(N,N) hydrogen bonds are seen and the dimers are further linked by weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows the following contact percentages: H⋯H 36.8%; H⋯O/O⋯H 26.1%; H⋯C/C⋯H 14.9%; H⋯N/N⋯H 14.5%; C⋯C 5.3%, with all other contact types making negligible contributions.

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 phenols...

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
