Anilide

In organic chemistry, anilides (or phenylamides) are a class of organic compounds with the general structure R−C(=O)−N(−R’)−C₆H₅. They are amide derivatives of aniline (H₂N−C₆H₅).

Aniline reacts with acyl chlorides or carboxylic anhydrides to give anilides. For example, reaction of aniline with acetyl chloride provides acetanilide (CH₃−CO−NH−C₆H₅). At high temperatures, aniline and carboxylic acids react to give anilides.^[1]
