3-(1-Adamant-yl)-6-methyl-3-(3-methyl-benz-yl)isochroman-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(28)H(32)O(2), the oxanone ring adopts distorted half-boat conformation with the following Cremer and Pople puckering parameters: Q = 0.619 (2) Å, θ = 0.75 (19) and ϕ = 172 (13)°. The dihedral angle betwen two benzene rings is 21.32 (7)°. The adamantane unit consists of three fused cyclo-hexane rings in classical chair conformations, with absolute values of C-C-C-C torsion angles in the range 57.5 (2)-60.9 (2)°. Weak inter-actions of the type C-H⋯O link mol-ecules of each enanti-omer into chains parallel to the b axis and lying about inversion centers. The crystal packing is also stabilized by inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance of 3.8566 (11) 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.

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...
