Amide

Amide is a derivative compound of carboxylic acids. These are strong alkaline compounds which are usually made with reactive metal like sodium by treating them with ammonia, amine, or covalent amide. This derivative has a salt like taste and ionic in nature. It can neither be oxidized nor reduced. There are three kinds of amide structures organic amide, sulfonamide, and phosphoramide. Depending on the number of hydrogen atoms substituted in the ammonia molecule of the structure, these derivatives can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Their linkages are easily formed, bestow structural rigidity, and have kinetically stable hydrolysis.

Ethanamide and dimethylformamide are the type of amides that are commercially very important as a solvent. It has extensively applications in industries like cosmetic (personal care, soaps), plastic, rubber, paper, water and sewage treatment, colour (crayons, pencils and inks), drugs (penicillin, LSD), etc. It is utilized for the production of explosives, adhesives, printing inks, latex thickeners and emulsion stabilizers.
