Abstract:
In the title compound, C11H10F4N2O2, the conformation about the N-C-C-O bond is gauche [torsion angle = 61.84 (13)°]. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into [010] chains, which are cross-linked by C-H⋯F and C-H⋯π contacts. Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to aid in the visualization of these various influences on the packing. This analysis showed that the largest contribution to the surface contacts arises from F⋯H/H⋯F inter-actions (35.6%), followed by O⋯H/H⋯O (17.8%) and H⋯H (12.7%).

Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
01:29Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
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...

01:11Nomenclature 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.
