Abstract:
The title compound, C16H20N4OS2, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-benzyl-sulfanyl-5-chloro-acetamido-1,3,4-thia-diazole and piperidine in a 1:2 ratio. The planes of the acetamide and 1,3,4-thia-diazole units are twisted by 10.8 (4)°. The thia-diazole S atom and the acetamide O atom are syn-oriented due to a hypervalent S⋯O inter-action of 2.628 (4) Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are further connected by C-H⋯O inter-actions into (100) layers.

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.
Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
