2-[6-Thioxo-5-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)-1,3,5-thia-diazinan-3-yl]acetic acid
Abstract:
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(18)N(2)O(2)S(2), the 1,3,5-thia-diazinane-2-thione ring adopts an envelope conformation with one of the N atoms at the flap position. The plane throught the five co-planar atoms of the heterocycle is oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.59 (8)° with respect to the aromatic ring. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular O-H⋯S inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis.

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.
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: 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.
