In organic chemistry, anilides (or phenylamides) are a class of organic compounds with the general structure {{chem2|R\sC(\dO)\sN(\sR’)\sC6H5}}. They are amide derivatives of aniline ({{chem2|H2N\sC6H5}}).
Preparation
Aniline reacts with acyl chlorides or carboxylic anhydrides to give anilides. For example, reaction of aniline with acetyl chloride provides acetanilide ({{chem2|CH3\sCO\sNH\sC6H5}}). At high temperatures, aniline and carboxylic acids react to give anilides.{{OrgSynth | author = Carl N. Webb | title = Benzanilide | |collvol = 1 | collvolpages = 82 | year = 1941 | prep = cv1p0082}}
