2-(Phenyl-sulfan-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid
Abstract:
The title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(2)S, belongs to the nitro-gen-containing group of heterocyclic organic compounds and crystallized with two mol-ecules per asymmetric unit. In the crystal, both molecules form inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H-O hydrogen bonds. Weak symmetry-related C-H-O inter-actions link the carboxyl dimers along b axis. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings in the two mol-ecules are 55.75 (14) and 58.33 (13)°.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
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.
