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 ...
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.
An amide ring is employed in the specificity of the adaptor protein GRB2 for a particular asparagine within proteins it binds. GRB2 binds strongly to the pentapeptide EYINQ (when the tyrosine is phosphorylated); in such structures a 9-atom amide ring occurs between the amide side chain of the pentapeptide's asparagine and the main chain atoms ...
M + HN(SiMe 3) 2 → MN(SiMe 3) 2 + 1/2 H 2 Alkali metal silylamides are soluble in a range of organic solvents, where they exist as aggregates, and are commonly used in organic chemistry as strong sterically hindered bases .
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 ...
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.
Lipoamide is a trivial name for 6,8-dithiooctanoic amide. It is the functional form of lipoic acid , i.e the carboxyl group is attached to protein via an amine with an amide linkage. [ 1 ] Illustrative of the biochemical role of lipoamide is in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl lipoamide.
