Abstract:
The title racemic compound, C(13)H(18)O(3), a common precursor in the total synthesis of terpenes, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is made up of triple chains, formed by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts, propagating in the a-axis direction.

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.
