(E)-Ethyl N'-(3-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)hydrazinecarboxyl-ate dihydrate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)O(3)·2H(2)O, contains two organic mol-ecules with similar conformations and four water mol-ecules. Each organic mol-ecule is close to planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.035 and 0.108 Å) and adopts a trans conformation with respect to its C=N bond. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional network by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, some of which are bifurcated. An R(2) (2)(8) loop occurs between adjacent organic mol-ecules.

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.

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...
