Anilide
Anilides are chemical compounds that are formally derived from aniline (C 6 H 5 NH 2 ): a hydrogen atom in the amino group of the aniline is replaced by an acyl residue from a carboxylic acid. The anilides belong to the group of amides . Anilides are also called carboxylic acid anilides and are therefore derivatives of carboxylic acids .
With the suffix ... anilid the naming can be done according to the IUPAC rule C-825.
The amidates form an isomeric structure in which the double bond is not between carbon and oxygen but between carbon and nitrogen and at the same time a hydroxyl group is present .
Manufacturing
Anilides are formed from aniline through reaction with
- anhydrous carboxylic acids,
- Carboxylic acid chlorides or
- Carboxylic acid anhydrides .
use
Drugs often contain an anilide function. In addition, some chlorinated anilides have gained importance as herbicides .
