Ethyl 2-benzamido-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1-benzothio-phene-3-carboxyl-ate
Abstract:
The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(19)NO(3)S, adopts an approximately planar conformation: the thio-phene and phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 8.13 (11)° while the ethyl ester group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0217 Å) is inclined at 1.25 (14) and 8.61 (13)°, respectively, to the thio-phene and phenyl rings. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with an S(6) ring motif occurs as well as an intra-molecular S⋯O hypervalent inter-action [S⋯O = 2.7369 (18) Å]. The cyclo-hexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation and is disordered over two positions with site occupation factors of 0.641 (6) and 0.359 (6). In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R(2) (2)(10) loops.

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...
