Abstract:
In the title compound, C(26)H(28)Cl(N)O(4)·H(2)O, the dihedral angle betwene the two aromatic rings is 69.73 (6)°. The N-containing ring exhibits a chair conformation, while the other non-aromatic rings are in approximate envelope conformations. In the crystal, the water mol-ecule forms O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and a C-H⋯O link also occurs.

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.
