N-(4-Bromo-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-2,2,2-tri-methyl-acetamide
Abstract:
The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the SO(2)-NH-CO-C group of the title compound (N4BPSTMAA), C(11)H(14)BrNO(3)S, are trans to each other, similar to what is observed in N-(4-chloro-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-2,2,2-trimethyl-acet-amide (N4CPSTMAA) and 2,2,2-trimethyl-N-(4-methyl-phenyl--sulfon-yl)acetamide (N4MPSTMAA). The bond para-meters in N4BPSTMAA are similar to those in N4CPSTMAA, N4MPSTMAA, N-aryl-2,2,2-trimethyl-acet-amides and 4-bromo-benzene-sulfonamide. The benzene ring and the SO(2)-NH-CO-C group in N4BPSTMAA form a dihedral angle of 82.8 (1)°, comparable with the values of 82.2 (1)° in N4CPSTMAA and 71.2 (1)° in N4MPSTMAA. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form a centrosymmetric ring characterized by an R(2) (2)(8) motif.

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.

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.
