JWH-176 is an

hydrogen bonding capacity at all, relying merely on Van der Waals and possibly hydrophobic interactions to bind to the receptor.[2] It was discovered by, and named after, John W. Huffman
.

Stereochemistry

JWH-176 is the (E)-stereoisomer of 1-([3-pentylinden-1-ylidine]methyl)naphthalene, whereas JWH-171 is the mixture of the (E)- and (Z)-isomers.[3]

Legal status

In the United States, CB1 receptor agonists of the 1-(1-naphthylmethylene)indene class such as JWH-176 and JWH-171 are

Schedule I Controlled Substances.[4]

As of 23 December 2009, any compound structurally derived from 1–(1–naphthylmethyl)indene by substitution at the 3–position of the indene ring by an alkyl group is a Class B drug in the United Kingdom.[5]
