This page seems to talk about molecules containing peptide bonds, but there are other amides out there, like dimethylformamide HCON(CH3)2 or sulfonamides or tertiary amides. AxelBoldt 19:12 Jan 23, 2003 (UTC)

AxelBoldt is right, there is not enough information on the differant types of amides. This article just focus' on seconday amides. It should include information on primary and tertiary amides aswell. This would help clarify the differances between the peptide link and an amide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.80.110 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm not so sure you can synthesize an amide from a carboxylic acid unless it is under enzymatic catalysis.

yes you can, you just have to heat it very hard. The ammonium salts of carboxylic acids on heating will give amides, if you heat them even harder with P2O5 then you get nitriles.Cadmium

I really think there should be more of a distinction between amides with a carbonyl group and amides such as lithium diisopropyl amide. I thought all amides had a carbonyl group until i ran across LDA. Eddietoran 19:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The removal of water under the reaction arrow, denoted -H2O, actually has a 0 (zero) instead of O (the letter for oxygen). Could whoever made the reaction scheme picture please fix this?
