Abstract:
The title compound, C21H15FN2O2, features an approximately planar 1H-benzo[f]chromene fused-ring system (r.m.s. deviation for the 14 non-H atoms = 0.052 Å), with the fluoro-benzene ring being almost perpendicular to this [dihedral angle = 85.30 (7) °]. The furan ring has a flattened half-chair conformation, with the methine C atom deviating by 0.132 (2) Å from the plane of the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0107 Å). In the crystal, inversion dimers are formed via pairs of amine-cyano N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The dimers are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C-H⋯N(cyano), C-H⋯π and π-π [inter-centroid distance = 3.6671 (10) Å] inter-actions.

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.
