Ethyl 4-(4-bromo-phen-yl)-6-(4-ethoxy-phen-yl)-2-oxocyclo-hex-3-enecarboxyl-ate.

The title compound, C(23)H(23)BrO(4), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of fused heterocycles. In the title mol-ecule, the cyclo-hexene ring has a distorted half-chair conformation. The bromo-phenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclo-hexene ring form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (3)°, whereas the benzene and cyclo-hexene rings are approximately perpendicular [88.44 (17)°]. There are only weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-molecular inter-actions.

2-[5-(4-Hydroxy-phen-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]phenol.

The title compound, C(21)H(16)N(2)O(2), was derived from 1-(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)-3-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)propane-1,3-dione. The pyrazole ring and one of the hydr-oxy-substituted benzene rings are approximately coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 7.5 (3)°. The relative conformation of these rings may be influenced by an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving different hydr-oxy groups of symmetry-related mol-ecules form extended chains along [201].

Ethyl 6-(4-ethoxy-phen-yl)-4-(furan-2-yl)-2-oxocyclo-hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl-ate.

The title compound, C(21)H(22)O(5), was prepared by NaOH-catalysed cyclo-condensation of 3-(4-ethoxy-phen-yl)-1-(furan-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one with ethyl acetoacetate. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules. In the title mol-ecule, the furan and cyclo-hexene rings are almost parallel [6.77 (11)°] and the cyclo-hexene ring is approximately perpendicular to the benzene ring [84.79 (5)°].
