(3E)-3-[4-(Dimethyl-amino)-phen-yl]-1-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(17)NO(2), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. Both mol-ecules adopt a trans configuration about the C=C bond, with the C-C=C-C fragments in the two mol-ecules twisted in opposite directions [torsion angles of 174.2 (2) and -175.8 (2)°]. The two benzene rings in each of the mol-ecules make dihedral angles of 20.21 (6) and 48.64 (4)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into infinite polymeric chains.

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.
