Abstract:
In the title compound, C21H22N2O, the planes of the two six-membered rings make a dihedral angle of 89.51 (7)°. The pyrrolidine ring has a puckering amplitude q 2 = 0.418 (3) and a pseudo-rotation phase angle ϕ2 = -166.8 (5), adopting a twist conformation (T). The other five-membered ring has a puckering amplitude q 2 = 0.247 (2) and a pseudo-rotation phase angle ϕ2 = -173.7 (5), adopting an envelope conformation with the CH2 atom adjacent to the C atom common with the pyrrolidine ring as the flap. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯N, enclosing R (2) 2(20) rings, forming chains propagating along [100]. The aceto-nitrile group is disordered over two positions and was refined with a fixed occupancy ratio of 0.56:0.44.

01:11Nomenclature 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.

01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...
01:16IUPAC 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.
02:27Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
