Dimethyl 3-(cyclo-propyl-carbon-yl)pyrrolo-[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,2-dicarboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(20)H(17)NO(5), two intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generate six- and seven-membered ring motifs. The dihedral angles between the almost planar 13-atom triple-fused-ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) and the planes of the two meth-oxy-carbonyl substituents are 61.7 (2) and 33.01 (10)°.

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.
Disubstituted Cyclohexanes: cis-trans Isomerism
In cyclohexane, the substituents can occupy different positions generating distinct isomers.

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.
