Dimethyl 3-acetyl-3-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-yl)penta-nedioate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(16)H(17)NO(5)S, was one of two condensation products from the reaction of 1-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-yl)propan-2-one with methyl chloro-acetate. The non-H atoms in each of the four substituent groups on the central quaternary C atom are virtually coplanar. The maximum deviations from the least-squares planes are 0.015 (2) and 0.020 (2) Å for the methyl C atoms in the methyl acetate substituents and 0.033 (1) Å for the linked C atom of the benzothia-zole substituent. The S, C and N atoms in the thia-zole ring of the benzothia-zole substituent lie -0.037 (2), 0.046 (2) and -0.028 (2) Å, respectively, from the mean plane defined by the benzene ring atoms.

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: 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.
