Inorganic chemistry,anilides (orphenylamides) are a class oforganic compounds with the generalstructureR−C(=O)−N(−R’)−C6H5. They areamidederivatives ofaniline (H2N−C6H5).
Aniline reacts withacyl chlorides orcarboxylic anhydrides to give anilides. For example, reaction of aniline withacetyl chloride providesacetanilide (CH3−CO−NH−C6H5). At high temperatures, aniline and carboxylic acids react to give anilides.[1]
