[2,7-Dimethoxy-8-(4-propylbenzoyl)naphthalen-1-yl](4-propylphenyl)methanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C32H32O4, the 4-propylbenzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost antiparallel, and their benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 8.64 (10)°. The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene rings are 69.37 (8) and 69.45 (8)°. In the crystal, C—H...O interactions link adjacent molecules via their aroyl groups

Crystal Structure and Solution Structural Dynamic Feature of 1,8-Dibenzoyl-2,7-Dimethoxynaphthalene

“…The curious reversible aroylation behavior of the naphthalene derivative [16] and chemospecific and regioselective ethereal alkyl-oxygen bond cleavage reaction of aroylated naphthalenes [19] can be explained on the basis of the structural features of the aroylated naphthalenes. Under these circumstances, the authors have undertaken the structural studies of the aroylnaphthalne compounds [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] with investigation of the formation and the related reaction behaviors.…”
