3-Acetyl-1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile
Abstract:
The title compound, C(18)H(13)N(3)O, has a butterfly-like structure, in which the pyrazole ring forms dihedral angles of 59.31 (8) and 57.24 (8)° with the two phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 64.03 (8)°. The pyrazole ring and the C-C=O plane of the acetyl group are twisted slightly, making a dihedral angle of 7.95 (18)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter-actions into a helical chain along the a-axis direction.

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.
Five-Membered Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Overview
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...

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.
Ketones with Nonenolizable Aromatic Aldehydes: Claisen–Schmidt Condensation
As the self-condensation of ketones is generally not favored in basic conditions, the self-condensed products do not form in the reaction between ketones and benzaldehyde. The general reaction of Claisen–Schmidt condensation is...
