2-(6-Methyl-2,3,4,9-tetra-hydro-1H-carbazol-1-yl-idene)propane-dinitrile
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(16)H(13)N(3), the cyclo-hexene ring adopts a sofa conformation. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(7) ring motif. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯N inter-actions, forming centrosymmetric dimers with an R(2) (2)(14) motif.

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.
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
