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 ...
Deamidation reaction of Asn-Gly (top right) to Asp-Gly (at left) or iso(Asp)-Gly (in green at bottom right) Deamidation is a chemical reaction in which an amide functional group in the side chain of the amino acids asparagine or glutamine is removed or converted to another functional group.
[1] [2] In physical and analytical chemistry, infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is a technique used to identify chemical compounds based on the way infrared radiation is absorbed by the compound. The absorptions in this range do not apply only to bonds in organic molecules.
The Hofmann rearrangement (Hofmann degradation) is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one less carbon atom. [1] [2] [3] The reaction involves oxidation of the nitrogen followed by rearrangement of the carbonyl and nitrogen to give an isocyanate intermediate.
An 11-atom amide ring, involving a glutamine residue, occurs at the interior of the light chain variable domains of some Immunoglobulin G antibodies and assists in linking the two beta-sheets. An amide ring is employed in the specificity of the adaptor protein GRB2 for a particular asparagine within proteins it binds.
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.
Propanamide has the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 C=O(NH 2). [1] 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.
