Abstract:
In the title compound, C11H10INO3, an addition product of itaconic acid anhydride and 4-iodo-aniline, the least-squares planes defined by the atoms of the aromatic moiety and the non-H atoms of the carb-oxy-lic acid group enclose an angle of 74.82 (11)°. In the crystal, classical O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed by carb-oxy-lic groups, as well as N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed by amide groups, are present along with C-H⋯O contacts. Together, these connect the mol-ecules into dimeric chains along the b-axis direction.

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.
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.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
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.
