__*TYPES*__
🧪
*also known as an acid amide*
🧪
*an amide is a ‘compound’ with the functional group RnE(O)xNR′2 *
(R and R′ refer to H or ‘organic groups’)
.
(most common are “carboxamides” (‘organic amides’) (n = 1, E = C, x = 1), but many other important types of ‘amides’ are known, including ‘phosphoramides’ (n = 2, E = P, x = 1 and many related formulas) and ‘sulfonamides’ (E = S, x = 2))
(the term “amide” refers both to classes of compounds and to the functional group (RnE(O)xNR′2) within those compounds)
(‘amide’ can also refer to the “conjugate base” of “ammonia” (the anion H2N−) or of an organic “amine” (an anion R2N−))
(for discussion of these “anionic amides”, see ‘alkali metal amides’)
.
(the remainder of this article is about the “carbonyl–nitrogen” sense of ‘amide’)
