Structures of three kinds of amides: an organic amide (carboxamide), a sulfonamide, and a phosphoramide. In chemistry, the term amide (/ ˈ æ m aɪ d / or / ˈ æ m ɪ d / or / ˈ eɪ m aɪ d /) [1] [2] [3] is a compound with the functional group R n E(=O) x NR 2, where x is not zero, E is some element, and each R represents an organic group or hydrogen.

The core −C(=O)−(N) of amides is called the amide group (specifically, carboxamide group). In the usual nomenclature, one adds the term "amide" to the stem of the parent acid's name. For instance, the amide derived from acetic acid is named acetamide (CH 3 CONH 2). IUPAC recommends ethanamide, but this and related formal names are rarely ...
Specifically, an amide results from an acid, in which a carbon atom is double bonded to oxygen and also to a hydroxyl group, when the hydroxyl group is replaced by an amine. Subcategories This category has the following 13 subcategories, out of 13 total.
A number of glutamines and asparagines help bind short peptides (with the PPII conformation) in the groove of class II MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) proteins [2] by forming these motifs. An 11-atom amide ring, involving a glutamine residue, occurs at the interior of the light chain variable domains of some Immunoglobulin G antibodies ...
Infrared spectroscopy: the C=O double bond absorbs infrared light at wavenumbers between approximately 1600–1900 cm −1 (5263 nm to 6250 nm). The exact location of the absorption is well understood with respect to the geometry of the molecule. This absorption is known as the "carbonyl stretch" when displayed on an infrared absorption ...
Metal amides (systematic name metal azanides) are a class of coordination compounds composed of a metal center with amide ligands of the form NR 2 −. Amido complexes of the parent amido ligand NH 2 − are rare compared to complexes with diorganylamido ligand, such as dimethylamido. Amide ligands have two electron pairs available for bonding.
In organic chemistry, the Schmidt reaction is an organic reaction in which an azide reacts with a carbonyl derivative, usually an aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid, under acidic conditions to give an amine or amide, with expulsion of nitrogen. [1] [2] [3] It is named after Karl Friedrich Schmidt (1887–1971), who first reported it in 1924 ...
Azanide is the IUPAC-sanctioned name for the anion NH − 2. The term is obscure; derivatives of NH − 2 are almost invariably referred to as amides, [1] [2] [3] despite the fact that amide also refers to the organic functional group – C(=O)−NR 2. The anion NH − 2 is the conjugate base of ammonia, so it is formed by the self-ionization ...
