2-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)acetic acid-2-{(E)-[(E)-2-(2-pyridyl-methyl-idene)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]meth-yl}pyridine (1/1)
Abstract:
In the crystal of the title 1:1 adduct, C(8)H(7)ClO(2)·C(12)H(10)N(4), the components are linked by an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond between the carb-oxy-lic acid and one of the pyridine N atoms. In the acid, the carb-oxy-lic acid group is approximately normal to [dihedral angle = 72.9 (2)°] but twisted with respect to the plane through the benzene ring [C-C-C-O torsion angle = 25.4 (5)°]. The base is roughly planar [dihedral angle between rings = 12.66 (15)°; r.m.s. deviation of the 16 non-H atoms = 0.107 Å] and the conformations about both imine bonds are E. The dimeric aggregates are linked into a supra-molecular layer in the ab plane by C-H⋯O inter-actions.

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.
IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...
