Preferred Label : amides;
IUPAC definition : the term applies also to metal derivatives of ammonia and amines, in which a cation
replaces a hydrogen atom on nitrogen. such compounds are also called azanides, e.g.
lithium diisopropylamide, synonym lithium diisopropylazanide. carboxamideslactamspeptidesphosphoramidessulfonamides; derivatives of oxoacids rkel2omoh(l ¿ 0) in which an acidic hydroxy group has been
replaced by an amino or substituted amino group. chalcogen replacement analogues are
called thio-, seleno- and telluro-amides. compounds having one, two or three acyl
groups on a given nitrogen are generically included and may be designated as primary,
secondary and tertiary amides, respectively, e.g. benzamide, n,n-dimethylmethanesulfonamide,
secondary amides (see imides ), tertiary amides, phenylphosphonamidic acid.;
Scope note : derivatives of certain acidic compounds rnemoh, where e is not carbon (e.g. sulfenic
acids, rsoh, phosphinous acids, r2poh) having the structure rnemnr2 may be named as
amides but do not belong to the class amides proper, e.g. ch3ch2snh2 ethanesulfenamide
or ethylsulfanylamine.; amides with nh2, nhr and nr2 groups should not be distinguished by means of the terms
primary, secondary and tertiary.;
