Abstract:
The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O(5), was obtained from a condensation reaction of 4-acet-oxy-3-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde and 2-furyl-carbonyl-hydrazide. In the mol-ecule, the furyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 14.63 (10)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. Futhermore, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions connect the chains, forming corrugated layers parallel to (001). The dihedral angle between the rings is 14.63 (10)°.

Structure and Nomenclature of Epoxides
Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
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.
