1-Bromo-acetyl-2,6-bis-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-3,5-dimethyl-piperidin-4-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(23)H(26)BrNO(4), the piperidinone ring adopts a boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 70.9 (1)°. The two meth-oxy groups are close to coplanar with the attached benzene rings [C-C-O-C torsion angles of 6.3 (5) and 16.4 (4)°]. A weak C-H⋯Br intra-molecular inter-action is observed. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a chain along [101] by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A short inter-molecular Br⋯O contact [3.063 (2) Å] is observed.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
