Abstract:
In the title compound, [CuCl(2)(C(11)H(15)N(3)O(2))], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated in a strongly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement, with the two methyloxime N atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine N and the Cl atoms located in the basal plane. The two axial Cu-N distances are almost equal (mean 2.098 A) and are substantially longer than the equatorial Cu-N bond [1.9757 (15) A]. It is observed that the N(oxime)-M-N(pyridine) bond angle for five-membered chelate rings of 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M-N(pyridine) bond. The structure is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds which involve the methyl H atoms, except for one of the two acetylmethyl groups.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Structure and Nomenclature of Epoxides
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
