General Format: • carbonyl group (>C=O) AND • amino group (NH2) • carboxylic acid: RCOOH • replace the OH with NH2 • name: no # needed • Amide group is always at end of molecule • – just like _______________________ Carboxylic Acid and Aldehyde
Naming Amides • Find name alkane with same # of C’s • drop the final -e & replace it with -amide
Ethanamide Propanamide
Properties of Amides • strong hydrogen bonding - so high bp • Simple amides are solids at room temp • Smaller amides are very soluble in water
