Abstract:
The title mol-ecule, C(14)H(19)NO(6), was synthesized by the reaction of glyoxylic acid, ethyl acetoacetate and NH(4)HCO(3). In the crystal structure, the dihydro-pyridine ring adopts an asymmetric boat-type conformation with the C atom bearing the carboxyl group showing a signficantly larger deviation [0.325 (2) Å] from the base plane then the N atom [0.137 (2) Å]. One of the ethyl groups is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.741 (10) and 0.259 (10). The crystal is stabilized by strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. N-H⋯O inter-actions form infinite chains in the a direction. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form typical carboxylic acid dimers, which link the N-H⋯O chains into a ladder-type double chain.

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.
IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic 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...
