Talk:Amide

I think something is wrong with e- movement, bond rearrangement and charges in the figure in the "Structure and bonding" sectiuon ??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.226.107.5 (talk) 12:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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) 07:22, 15 June 2006

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]

H two zero

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? done! V8rik 21:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amidation redirects here, but it's not really explained. (And I don't know enough to write about it myself.) MarcelM 17:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Facile amidation

As per the described direct amidation of carboxylic acid with amine in presence of catalyst (Rheuthenium based), there is a better and cheaper method reported in Org. Syn. 2005, which is also far more 'green'. This describes use of Boric acid in 5 mol% quantity, with azeotropically removing water. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinu687 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

only organic?

I'm shure there are a lot of amides like sulfamide without any carbonyl function. Only amides from carboxylic acids are "organic". Sadorkan (talk) 15:20, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Main "amide" page should discuss all meanings, not only the one in organic chemistry

I second the above criticism, and I'm tagging this page as confusing. See more on my explanation for the same problem for "imide" page, the talk page at Talk:Imide#Main_.22imide.22_page_should_discuss_all_meanings.2C_not_only_the_one_in_organic_chemistry.
