N-{4-[(2-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)sulfamo-yl]phen-yl}acetamide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2)O(4)S, the S atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry [maximum deviation: O-S-O = 118.25 (7)°]. The two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 62.67 (10)° with each other. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers via pairwise N-H⋯O inter-actions, forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif, and these dimers are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network. Furthermore, a weak C-H⋯π inter-action helps to reinforce the crystal structure. The O atom in the acetamide group is disordered over two positions with major and minor occupancies of 0.52 (5) and 0.48 (5), respectively.

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.
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...
