2-(1-Adamant-yl)-1-{4-[(2-chloro-9-isopropyl-9H-purin-6-yl)amino-meth-yl]phen-yl}ethanone
Abstract:
The structure of the title compound, C(27)H(32)ClN(5)O, consists of two crystallographically independent conformers differing slightly in all geometric parameters. Both contain nearly planar purine and benzene ring systems [maximum deviations of 0.046 (3) and 0.005 (2) Å, respectively], the dihedral angles between them being 76.44 (6) and 82.39 (6)°, and an adamantane cage consisting of three fused cyclo-hexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles in the range 108.7 (2)-110.6 (2)°. The carbonyl plane and the benzene ring are almost coplanar [dihedral angles of 6.43 (9) and 0.64 (8)° in the two conformers]. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯N inter-actions that link adjacent mol-ecules into dimers and by some non-bonding contacts of the C-H⋯Cl type.

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...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
