2,3-Dimethoxynaphthalene: solid-state structure as studied via X-ray crystallography and solid-phase 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-2860(95)08871-R

The X-ray crystal structure of the title material has been obtained.A symmetrical structure with the OCH3 groups essentially planar to the aromatic ring has been found.Chemical shift differences observed in the solid-state 13C cross polarization/magic angle spinning spectrum are attributed to intermolecular crystal packing effects, resulting in an asymmetric unit of one molecule.
