N-Benzyl-2-(3-chloro-4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetamide
Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(14)ClNO(2), was synthesized as part of a project to generate a combinatorial library based on the fungal natural product 2-(3-chloro-4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetamide. It crystallizes as non-planar discrete mol-ecules [the peripheral 3-chloro-4-hy-droxy-phenyl and benzyl groups are twisted out of the plane of the central acetamide group, with N-C-C-C and C-C-C-C torsion angles of -58.8 (3) and 65.0 (2)°, respectively] linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

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.
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...
