Ethyl 6-amino-5-cyano-2-methyl-4-propyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxyl-ate
Abstract:
The pyran ring of the title compound, C(13)H(18)N(2)O(3), is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.059 Å). The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
Naming Amides
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.

Naming Acid Halides
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.
