organic compounds
2-(1-Naphthyl)propionic acid, C13H12O2, is one of the chiral compounds which exhibit the highest difference (80 K) in melting points between the racemic and enantiomeric crystals. We report here the structure of the racemic compound.
organic compounds
1,4-Dimethoxy-2,3-dimethylbenzene was brominated under radical conditions to give the title compound, C10H11Br3O4. The bond lengths and angles are generally within the normal ranges. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—HO and C—HBr hydrogen bonds.
