(2E)-3-(4-Methyl-phen-yl)-1-(2-methyl-4-phenyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one monohydrate
Abstract:
The title hydrate, C(26)H(21)NO·H(2)O, exhibits significant twists of the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 87.24 (6)°] and chalcone residue [C-C-C-C torsion angle = -94.46 (17)°] out of the plane through the quinoline ring system. The conformation about the C=C bond [1.341 (2) Å] is E. The solvent water mol-ecule forms hydrogen bonds to carbonyl O and quinoline N atoms derived from two mol-ecules and through the application of a centre of inversion, a 16-membered {⋯HOH⋯OC(3)N}(2) synthon is formed to stabilize the resulting tetra-meric (two organic mol-ecules plus two water mol-ecules) aggregate. These are connected into a two-dimensional array via two C-H⋯O contacts, also involving the water mol-ecule. The layers stack along the c axis, being linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

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.

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.
