2-{4-[Acet-yl(eth-yl)amino]-benzene-sulfonamido}-benzoic acid
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(17)H(18)N(2)O(5)S, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 68.59 (10)° and the C-S-N-C torsion angle is -81.84 (18)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, generating an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Overview
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.
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: 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.
