Ethyl 2-(5-cyclo-hexyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(19)H(24)O(4)S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The O atom of the sulfinyl group is disordered over two orientations with site-occupancy factors of 0.875 (4) and 0.125 (4).

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
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.
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.
