Synthetic Chemistry of Amides

Murphy, Caleb
Synthetic Chemistry of Amides
Amides are functional groups in which a carbonyl carbon atom is linked by a single bond to a nitrogen atom, and either a hydrogen or a carbon atom. The general formula of amide is RC (=O)NR, R", where R, R', and R" represent organic groups or hydrogen atoms. Some common examples of amides are benazamide, acetamide, nylon, paracetamol and dimethylformamide. The amide bond is found in many naturally occurring and synthetic compounds. There are s...
