Abstract:
The title compound, C17H17NO3, was synthesized, characterized by IR spectroscopy and its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal diffraction data. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules, which adopt different conformations. In one mol-ecule, the acet-oxy and the terminal 2-methyl-phenyl groups are positioned on opposite sides of the plane formed by the central benzene ring, whereas in the other mol-ecule they lie on the same side of this plane. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked through strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [010]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots were used to investigate the inter-molecular inter-actions in the solid state.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions
The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...
