Abstract:
The title compound, C16H15ClN2O4, contains a chiral centre and crystallizes as a racemate. The methyl-ene group β-positioned to the carbonyl group is partially (21%) disordered. It flips to the opposite sides of the corresponding six-membered carbocycle by -0.304 (3) and 0.197 (11) Å, producing alternative envelope conformations. The planes of the pyran and chloro-phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 86.25 (9)°. The mol-ecular structure is characterized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-action, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The corresponding amino N atom deviates from the plane of the pyran ring by 0.1634 (19) Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming C(8) chains running parallel to the b-axis direction. The crystal structure also features C-H⋯π inter-actions.

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.
