Ethyl 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylsulfan-yl)acetate
Abstract:
The title mol-ecule, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(3)S, is composed of two individually planar units, viz. 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-sulfanyl and ethyl acetate, which are oriented at almost right angles [80.07 (8)°] with respect to each other. The structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The phenyl and oxadiazole rings show π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.846 (2) Å] and there is also a short π-inter-action between the carbonyl O atom and the oxadiazole ring [the distance from this O atom to the centroid of the oxadiazole ring is 3.156 (2) Å].

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
