Linked from

The 31 pages that link to Amide, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbonyl groupBroader topic: Amides are carbonyl derivatives that form peptide bonds in proteins.

• Functional groupBroader topic: Amide bonds form the backbone links in proteins and many synthetic materials.

• UreaNarrower topic: Urea’s carbonyl carbon is bonded to two amino groups.

• NylonBroader topic: Amide linkages connect the repeating units in nylon chains.

• EsterCompared with: Replacing ester oxygen with nitrogen changes stability and reactivity.

• ResonanceBroader topic: Nitrogen lone-pair donation gives the carbon–nitrogen bond partial double-bond character.

• AmineCompared with: Unlike amines, amides have nitrogen’s lone pair delocalized into a carbonyl group.

• KetoneCompared with: Amides have nitrogen bonded to the carbonyl carbon instead of two carbon substituents.

• Nucleophilic acyl substitutionBroader topic: Amides are less reactive because nitrogen stabilizes the carbonyl by resonance.

• Carboxyl groupCompared with: Replacing the carboxyl hydroxyl with nitrogen produces an amide rather than a carboxylic acid.

• PolyamideNarrower topic: The amide linkage is the defining repeating unit in a polyamide chain.

• NitrileCompared with: Amides are common products of nitrile hydrolysis and contain a carbonyl rather than a carbon–nitrogen triple bond.

• Beta-lactam ringNarrower topic: The ring is defined by this carbonyl–nitrogen linkage.

• Acetyl groupRelated: Acetyl attachment to nitrogen forms an amide bond, as in N-acetyl compounds.

• CaprolactamNarrower topic: Caprolactam’s amide bond governs its chemical identity and polymerization behavior.

• Acyl chlorideRelated: Ammonia and amines react with acyl chlorides to form amides.

• Amino groupCompared with: Unlike an amino group, amide nitrogen shares its lone pair with a carbonyl and is much less basic.

• Carbonyl compoundBroader topic: Amides are distinguished by nitrogen attached to the carbonyl carbon.

• Phosphorus pentachlorideRelated: PCl₅ can dehydrate primary amides to nitriles under suitable conditions.

• Acyl groupRelated: Amides are acyl derivatives whose nitrogen substituent strongly stabilizes the carbonyl.

• AcetanilideNarrower topic: Acetanilide’s defining linkage is an amide bond.

• AsparagineRelated: Asparagine’s side chain contains a carboxamide group.

• BenzylamineCompared with: Its nitrogen is not adjacent to a carbonyl, distinguishing benzylamine from amides.

• DimethylformamideNarrower topic: DMF is a tertiary amide, and this functional group shapes its polarity and chemistry.

• EthylamineCompared with: Amides contain nitrogen too, but their nitrogen is far less basic than ethylamine's.

• DiethylamineCompared with: Unlike an amine, an amide’s nitrogen lone pair is delocalized into a carbonyl.

• FormamideNarrower topic: Formamide is the smallest member of this functional-group family.

• AcetamideNarrower topic: Acetamide is the simplest member of this compound family.

• Hippuric acidRelated: The benzoyl and glycine portions of hippuric acid are joined by an amide bond.

• Carbamic acidCompared with: Carbamic acid resembles an amide but retains a hydroxyl group on the carbonyl carbon.

• Enanthic acidRelated: Amides can be formed from derivatives of enanthic acid.
