1. Amide

   In organic chemistry, an amide, also known as an organic amide or a carboxamide, is a compound with the general formula RC(=O)NR′R″, where R, R', and R″ represent organic groups or hydrogen atoms. The amide group is called a peptide bond when it is part of the main chain of a protein, and an isopeptide bond when it occurs in a side chain, such as in the amino acids asparagine and glutamine. It can be viewed as a derivative of a carboxylic acid (RC(=O)OH) with the hydroxyl group (−OH) replaced by an amine group (−NR′R″); or, equivalently, an acyl (alkanoyl) group (R−C(=O)−) joined to an amine group. Common examples of amides are acetamide (H3C−CONH2), benzamide (C6H5−CONH2), and dimethylformamide (HCON(−CH3)2). Amides are qualified as primary, secondary, and tertiary according to whether the amine subgroup has the form −NH2, −NHR, or −NRR', where R and R' are groups other than hydrogen.The core −C(=O)N< of amides is called the amide group (specifically, carboxamide group). Amides are pervasive in nature and technology. Proteins and important plastics like Nylons, Aramid, Twaron, and Kevlar are polymers whose units are connected by amide groups (polyamides); these linkages are easily formed, confer structural rigidity, and resist hydrolysis. Amides include many other important biological compounds, as well as many drugs like paracetamol, penicillin and LSD. Low-molecular-weight amides, such as dimethylformamide, are common solvents.

1. amide

   An amide is a type of organic compound that contains a carbonyl group (C=O) linked to a nitrogen atom (N). The general structure is represented as R-CO-NR’R’’, where R, R’, and R’’ can be either hydrogen atoms or hydrocarbon groups. They can be derived from carboxylic acids by replacement of a hydroxyl group (-OH) with an amino group (-NH2, -NHR, or -NR2). Amides are commonly found in a wide range of applications include in plastics, pharmaceuticals, and in the structure of proteins.

1. Amide

   An amide is a compound with the functional group RnExNR'2. Most common are "organic amides", but many other important types of amides are known including phosphor amides and sulfonamides. The term amide refers both to classes of compounds and to the functional group within those compounds. Amide can also refer to the conjugate base of ammonia or of an organic amine. For discussion of these "anionic amides", see Metal amides#Alkali metal amides. The remainder of this article is about the carbonyl-nitrogen sense of amide.

1. Amide

   am′īd, n. one of the compound ammonias derived from one or more molecules of common ammonia, by exchanging one or more of the three hydrogen atoms for acid radicals of equivalent acidity.
