(-)-N,N'-Bis[(1S,2R,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-bicyclo-[3.1.1]heptan-2-ylmeth-yl]pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide monohydrate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(27)H(39)N(3)O(2)·H(2)O, is a chiral pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide derivative including cis-myrtanyl groups as amine substituents. The pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide core approximates C(2) point symmetry and a solvent water mol-ecule lies on the pseudo-twofold axis. The water mol-ecule serves both as acceptor and donor for efficient hydrogen bonds involving N-H and C=O functional groups as donor and acceptor groups, respectively. As a result, each water mol-ecule in the crystal structure is tetra-hedrally bonded to three symmetry-related mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. Such an arrangement is a common feature found in the majority of X-ray-characterized sym-metrically substituted pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide derivatives.

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.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
