4-Amino-3-methyl-benzoic acid-1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane (1/1)
Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title 1:1 adduct, C(12)H(12)N(2)·C(8)H(9)NO(2), the 4-amino-3-methyl-benzoic acid mol-ecules and 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular network parallel to (001). In the 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane mol-ecule, the two pyridine rings are twisted to each other by a dihedral angle of 12.12 (8)°. The non-H atoms of the 4-amino-3-methyl-benzoic acid mol-ecule are almost coplanar, the maximum atomic deviation being 0.029 (1) Å. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are present in the crystal structure.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
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.

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...
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.
π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
