Nomenclature-Amides (R-CO-NH2) take the suffix "-amide". There is no prefix form, and no location number is required since they always terminate a carbon chain, e.g. CH3CONH2 is named ethanamide. Examples
Synthesis Example- When a carboxylic acid and an amine react, a water molecule is removed, and an amide molecule is formed. back to Organic Links |
