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).
Preparation 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.
Uses Herbicides - diflufenican, dimethenamid, flamprop, propanil, tetflupyrolimet, acetochlor, alachlor, butachlor, delachlor, diethatyl, dimethachlor, ethaprochlor, metazachlor, pretilachlor, propisochlor, pyrnachlor, terbuchlor, thenylchlor, xylachlor Fungicides - Oxycarboxin, Carboxin
