Acetamide (systematic name: ethanamide) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CONH 2. It is an amide derived from ammonia and acetic acid. It finds some use as a plasticizer and as an industrial solvent. [5] The related compound N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) is more widely used, but it is not
Aryl imino ether: For N,N-diaryl amides. The reaction mechanism is based on a nucleophilic aromatic substitution. [26] Leuckart amide synthesis [27] Isocyanate: Reaction of arene with isocyanate catalysed by aluminium trichloride, formation of aromatic amide. Ritter reaction [28] Alkenes, alcohols, or other carbonium ion sources
Acetamidine hydrochloride is synthesised in a two-step process that begins with a solution of acetonitrile in ethanol at close to 0 °C. [4] First, the mixture is treated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride in a Pinner reaction, producing crystals of acetimido ethyl ether hydrochloride:
Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) is an organosilicon compound with the formula MeC(OSiMe 3)NSiMe 3 (Me = CH 3). It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in diverse organic solvents, but reacts rapidly with moisture and solvents containing OH and NH groups .
Dimethylacetamide (DMAc or DMA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 C(O)N(CH 3) 2. This colorless, water-miscible, high-boiling liquid is commonly used as a polar solvent in organic synthesis. DMA is miscible with most other solvents, although it is poorly soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Acetanilide can be produced by reacting acetic anhydride with aniline: [7]. C 6 H 5 NH 2 + (CH 3 CO) 2 O → C 6 H 5 NHCOCH 3 + CH 3 COOH. The preparation used to be a traditional experiment in introductory organic chemistry lab classes, [8] but it has now been widely replaced by the preparation of either paracetamol or aspirin, both of which teach the same practical techniques (especially ...
Phenacetin (/ f ɪ ˈ n æ s ɪ t ɪ n / ⓘ; acetophenetidin, N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)acetamide [1]) is a pain-relieving and fever-reducing drug, which was widely used following its introduction in 1887. It was withdrawn from medicinal use as dangerous from the 1970s (e.g., withdrawn in Canada in 1973, [ 2 ] and by the U.S. Food and Drug ...
Acyl compounds react with nucleophiles via an addition mechanism: the nucleophile attacks the carbonyl carbon, forming a tetrahedral intermediate. This reaction can be accelerated by acidic conditions, which make the carbonyl more electrophilic , or basic conditions, which provide a more anionic and therefore more reactive nucleophile.
