Ethyl (3E)-3-[2-(4-bromo-phenyl-sulfon-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]butano-ate
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of title compound, C(12)H(15)BrN(2)O(4)S, contains two mol-ecules (A and B), with slightly different conformations: the bromo-phenyl rings and the SO(2) planes of the sulfonyl groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 50.2 (2) (mol-ecule A) and 58.24 (7)° (mol-ecule B), and the ethyl acetate groups make dihedral angles of 63.99 (19)° (A) and 65.35 (16)° (B) with their bromo-phenyl groups. In the crystal, both mol-ecules exist as inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate R(2) (2)(14) loops. The dimers are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions.

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.
