Amides

Amides are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the hydroxyl group is replaced by an amino or substituted amino group. Unlike acid halides they resist hydrolysis except under forcing conditions, and they function as solvents, crystallisation standards, derivatising reagents and pharmaceutical intermediates. Molychem offers amides including acetamide, acetanilide, benzamide, thioacetamide, sulphanilamide and silylating reagents in LR and AR grades.
