(E)-3-[(2-Hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)amino]-benzoic acid
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(15)H(13)NO(4), the dihedral angle between the substituted benzene rings is 9.9 (8)°. Part of the mol-ecule (the salicylaldimine segment) is disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.550 (14):0.450 (14). Intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers with R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The crystal packing also features C-H⋯π inter-actions.

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...
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.
