N,N'-Bis-[(E)-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)-methyl-ene]hexane-1,6-diamine
Abstract:
The title compound, C(20)H(26)N(4), is composed of two (6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl-ene units linked by a 1,6-diamine hexane chain. The mol-ecule has C(i) symmetry with the inversion center situated at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The alkyl chain has an all-trans conformation, with all the non-H atoms sharing the same plane [maximum deviation 0.004 (3) Å]. The pyridylmethyl-ene groups are also planar [maximum deviation 0.009 (3) Å], making an angle of 53.78 (19)° with the hexane chain plane. In the crystal, the mol-ecules assemble in layers, stacking along the a axis. The stacks are hold together by attractive interactions between π electron systems.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.

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.
