Abstract:
In the title compound, C(21)H(15)N(7)O(6)·2C(3)H(7)NO·3H(2)O, the N(2),N(2')-bis-(3-nitro-benzyl-idene)pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide and one water mol-ecule are located on a twofold rotation axis. The mol-ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds. One dimethylformamide molecule is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.8 and 0.2.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
