Facile Preparation of (2Z,4E)-Dienamides by the Olefination of Electron-deficient Alkenes with Allyl Acetate
Published on: June 21, 2017
(E)-1-(4-Amino-phen-yl)-3-(2-chloro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(12)ClNO, a substituted chalcone, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C bond of the enone unit. The mol-ecule is not planar, as can be seen from the dihedral angle of 28.9 (2)° between the two rings which are twisted from each other. The enone segment of the mol-ecule is not coplanar with the chloro-phenyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 23.4 (3)° with it. The amino group is also not coplanar with the ring to which it is bound, making a dihedral angle of 35 (4)°. In the crystal structure, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O inter-actions into one-dimensional infinite chains along the c axis, and are further stacked as one-dimensional zigzag chains down the b axis, forming two-dimensional extended networks parallel to the bc plane.

Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols
Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

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.
Separation of the aromatic...
