Encyclopedic overview
Amides are the members of a group of organic chemical compounds containing nitrogen. They are acyl-substituted amines, or equivalently derivatives of oxyacids where a hydroxyl group has been replaced by an amino group, such that the same atom (usually carbon, sulfur, or phosphorus) has a double bond to oxygen and single bond to nitrogen.
