Abstract:
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(21)H(19)NO, the terminal saturated six-membered ring of the dihydro-acridine unit adopts an envelope conformation, while the other two fused rings are nearly coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 2.61 (3)°. The coplanar ring system is oriented with respect to the phenyl ring at a dihedral angle of 74.58 (3)°. In the crystal structure, there is a C-H⋯π contact between the central ring of the dihydro-acridine system and the phenyl ring and a π-π contact between the two central rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.809 (1) Å].

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.

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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...
