Abstract:
The title compound, C(18)H(17)F(2)NO(3), consists of three individually planar subunits, namely two benzene rings and one amino-acrylate group. The amino-acrylate group forms dihedral angles of 5.92 (7) and 50.21 (6)° with the difluoro and methoxy benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 55.25 (7)°. The mol-ecules exhibit intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯F inter-actions and form a three-dimensional network via inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds.

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...

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.
