2-Methyl-6-(trifluoro-meth-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(10)H(6)F(3)N(3), the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine group is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (1) Å. The F atoms in the trifluoro-methyl group and the methyl H atoms are each disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains through two C-H⋯N inter-actions forming R(2) (2)(12) and R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bond ring motifs. These chains are stacked along the a axis.

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.
