2-Benzyl-sulfanyl-4-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]-6-pentyl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(24)H(25)N(3)S(2), the S-bound benzene rings have orthogonal [dihedral angle = 85.31 (9)°] and splayed [67.92 (11)°] orientations with respect to the pyrimidine ring; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 48.18 (12)°. The pentyl group has an extended all-trans conformation and lies to one side of the pyrimidine ring [the N(py)-C(py)-C(p)-C(p) torsion angle = -85.7 (2)°; py = pyrimidine and p = pent-yl].

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.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...

A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...
