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 ).
In enzymology, a N-substituted formamide deformylase (EC 3.5.1.91) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. N-benzylformamide + H 2 O formate + benzylamine. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-benzylformamide and H 2 O, whereas its two products are formate and benzylamine.
The chemical reactions of dimethylacetamide are typical of N,N-disubstituted amides. Hydrolysis of the acyl-N bond occurs in the presence of acids: CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2 + H 2 O + HCl → CH 3 COOH + (CH 3) 2 NH 2 + Cl −. However, it is resistant to bases. For this reason DMA is a useful solvent for reactions involving strong bases such as sodium ...
The Beckmann rearrangement, named after the German chemist Ernst Otto Beckmann (1853–1923), is a rearrangement of an oxime functional group to substituted amides. [1] [2] The rearrangement has also been successfully performed on haloimines and nitrones. Cyclic oximes and haloimines yield lactams.
Pivalamide (2,2-dimethylpropanamide, or NDEPA), a simple amide substituted with a tert-butyl group having the chemical formula: t Bu-CO-NH 2. It is the amide of pivalic acid. N-Pivalamide, is a functional group having the following chemical formula: tBu-CO-NH-R
Transamidation is a chemical reaction in which an amide reacts with an amine to generate a new amide: RC(O)NR' 2 + HNR" 2 → RC(O)NR" 2 + HNR' 2. The reaction is typically very slow, but it can be accelerated with Lewis acid [1] and organometallic catalysts. [2] Primary amides (RC(O)NH 2) are more amenable to this reaction.
The lithium amides are more common and more soluble than the other alkali metal analogs. Potassium amides are prepared by transmetallation of lithium amides with potassium t-butoxide (see also Schlosser base) or by reaction of the amine with potassium, potassium hydride, n-butylpotassium, or benzylpotassium.

It is the amide of propanoic acid. This organic compound is a mono-substituted amide. [2] Organic compounds of the amide group can react in many different organic processes to form other useful compounds for synthesis.
