Methyl 2,2-diphenyl-2-(prop-2-yn-1-yl-oxy)acetate
Abstract:
The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(18)H(16)O(3), exhibits a new R(2)-C(COOMe)(OCH(2)CCH) group. The C-O-C-C torsion angle is 153.3 (1)°. The dihedral angles are 79.89 (5)° between phen-yl/phenyl planes, and 73.13 (5) and 79.05 (8)° for the two COOMe/phenyl plane pairs.

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.
