Abstract:
In the title racemic salt, C(6)H(13)N(2)O(+)·C(8)H(11)O(4) (-), formed from the reaction of cis-cyclo-hexane-1,2-dicarb-oxy-lic anhydride with isonipecotamide, the cations are linked into duplex chain substructures through both centrosymmetric cyclic head-to-head 'amide motif' hydrogen-bonding associations [graph set R(2) (2)(8)] and 'side-by-side' R(2) (2)(14) associations. The anions are incorporated into the chains through cyclic R(4) (3)(10) inter-actions involving amide and piperidinium N-H⋯O(carbox-yl) hydrogen bonds which, together with inter-anion carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯O(carbox-yl) hydrogen bonds, give a two-dimensional layered structure extending along (011).

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: 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.
