(2E)-3-(3-Nitro-phen-yl)-1-[4-(piperidin-1-yl)phen-yl]prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(3), the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and its mean plane forms dihedral angles of 19.63 (9) and 19.44 (9)°, respectively, with the benzene and the nitro-substituted benzene ring. The benzene and nitro-substituted benzene rings are almost coplanar and make a dihedral angle of 4.78 (8)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional networks parallel to the ab plane. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π-π inter-actions [maximum centroid-centroid distance = 3.7807 (12) Å].

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.

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.
