tert-Butyl 2-hy-droxy-3-(4-methyl-benzene-sulfonamido)-butano-ate
Abstract:
In the crystal of the title compound, C(15)H(23)NO(5)S, mol-ecules are linked through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions, resulting in centrosymmetric dimers in which the N-H⋯O inter-actions generate R(2) (2)(12) rings and the O-H⋯O inter-actions generate R(2) (2)(14) rings. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are also observed.

The bonds formed in this reaction are stronger than the bonds broken, making it energetically favorable. The reaction follows a radical chain mechanism similar to radical halogenation reactions,...
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
