Mefenacet [2-(1,3-benzothia-zol-2-yl-oxy)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-acetamide]
Abstract:
The title compound, C(16)H(14)N(2)O(2)S, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the plane of the benzothia-zole ring system and the phenyl ring plane are 51.63 (7) and 60.46 (5)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions contribute to the stabilization of the packing.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

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.
